Purpose and compatibility with BMW X5 F15 / X6 F16

The presented tow bar has been designed specifically for BMW X5 F15 and BMW X6 F16 models, taking into account the geometry of the rear body section. Its placement in the rear zone of the vehicle allows for the safe transfer of loads associated with towing trailers, car haulers, or ball-mounted bicycle racks. The OEM design ensures proper fitment with factory mounting points, which limits the need for modifications and facilitates integration with the bodywork.

Electrically pivoted tow bar mechanism

A key feature of this solution is the electrically pivoted tow bar mechanism. It allows for quick retraction or extension of the working element without the need for disassembly, which improves daily ergonomics. In the folded position, the tow bar does not disrupt the body lines and minimizes the risk of accidental snagging while parking, while in the working position, it provides a stable attachment point for a trailer or transport accessories.

Construction and performance properties

The tow bar belongs to the Trailer hitches and complete sets group, which means its construction is prepared for operation in typical conditions for SUV-class vehicles. The arrangement of mounting points in the rear of the vehicle promotes even distribution of forces when driving with a load. The use of an original BMW design helps maintain the proper rigidity of the connection to the body and compatibility with factory mounting solutions.

Condition, origin, and benefits of choosing BMW parts

The item comes from the BMW range and is a used part, which allows for combining a reasonable purchase cost with maintaining the manufacturer's factory specifications. Choosing an original tow bar from the secondary market is particularly beneficial for users who expect compliance with the vehicle's design and predictable behavior during towing. This helps reduce the risk of installation problems typical of universal solutions and maintains technical consistency with other vehicle components.
