So I finally got a towbar installed. Planning to tow my bike to and from the track.
First impressions is that the rear suspension feels a lot more settled while driving due to the extra weight 23kg total. (The stock rear muffler felt quite heavy but that's now been replaced with a y pipe)

Have I read this right, have you done a rear muffler delete to fit the towbar? I was wanting to fit a towbar to carry my ebime around but se its not listed for the m135i f40

Just bought the same car and want to fit Towbar. Did the exhaust change make a big difference to the engine note, any risk the change voids BMW warranty?

Just installed. No exhaust mods

Are you on lowering springs?
If so which ones?

That was my initial thought that the tow bar would not fit so I did the muffler delete also because I wanted the enhanced sound of the exhaust

The exhaust did make a huge difference to the sound I did an axle back exhaust which shouldn't affect the warranty I have done a few video clips if you want to listen to the sound on Instagram you can find me @bmw_dr1vr

This is fantastic that could tell by can fit without modifying the exhaust good job

Here are a couple of pics of me towing the bikes. The location was 4 hours drive to the great apline road in Melbourne. The rear doesn't sag too much which was my concern. I could clear all bumps along the way too.
