My E92 with Towbar/Hitch

enzo · 04-25-2007, 09:01 PM

Well I finally got my Westfalia towbar in! Putting it on was a easy except I had to make some muffler hangers because it was made for the E92 328. (mine is a 335).

The unit replaces the stock bumper and is built very beefy. Probably adds 50 pounds to the back of the car. It has a verticle receiver. When the arm is removed there is nothing to see! Clean setup.

I towed my jetski to the beach today. It is a 4 hour drive round trip. The 335 pulls the trailer great . Half the drive is a winding road and I could still rail the corners.(with in reason!)

This is a euro setup and not legal in the states but I do not think a cop would know that.

My truck is now for sale.

I know what your talking about when I went to amsterdam two weeks ago, I saw a new MB C-Class with a tow hitch. It totally blew my mind.

TonyLukes3 · 04-25-2007, 10:44 PM

That's awesome

John 070 · 04-25-2007, 10:47 PM

Interesting, but I think I'd just buy a used Pathfinder or something for that. When I say used, I mean 1990 or one where the price is negligible. It'd be worth it to me to keep the wear/tear off the 335....

nice, love your toyzzzzz

STE92VE · 04-26-2007, 07:03 AM

The stealth look of the hitch is a definite +....

Mr. M · 04-26-2007, 07:26 AM

a coupe towing a jet ski reminds me of a rap video gone wrong...

toughluck · 04-26-2007, 07:33 AM

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!

Now I know what to do if I want a jet ski!

phantome46 · 04-26-2007, 07:40 AM

did you buy the towbar as an aftermarket accessory?

Brunotheboxer · 04-26-2007, 07:53 AM

thats awesome. someday i hope to buy a small boat but would probably use my wifes car to tow it.

JAL09 · 04-26-2007, 08:30 AM

why...why..why......its gross

LI E90 · 04-26-2007, 08:33 AM

that sure is different....

If it was me I would go by a beater 4x4, and not risk the chance,

He needs to tow. It's a car, nothing more.

Raider · 04-26-2007, 09:38 AM

Awesome, you have cool toys...you know how to live....

It's not ugly, it's sporty looking...i plan on getting a trailer to haul my Bike too...

TonyLukes3 · 04-26-2007, 09:39 AM

The only thing that's bad about using the 3 to tow your jetskis is the beach sand & salt water. That is NOT good for the car!

ksfrogman · 04-26-2007, 09:59 AM

Looks like a Yamaha in the background. That thing is so hard to balance on. No fun.

bronco · 04-26-2007, 10:34 AM

In case it help anyone this is the write up of my E91 hitch install:

Not as pretty, but it is a receiver hitch not just a towbar so works with hitch mounted bike racks:

Interesting, make sure you don't tow more than the recommended towing weight by BMW!
