Not sure what effect a tow hitch will have, if any, on the Comfort Access toe kick sensor. I'm willing to sacrifice that bit of convenience if I can tow a 15 foot trailer or mount a rear bike rack on my X1.

Not sure if X1's come from the factory with pre-wired electrical connections or if that's something that would need to be wired in later.

Also, I'm not sure if having an M Sport will make a difference to the eventual tow package installation, since the bumper is different from the standard model.
US models come with 8SL which is trailer hitch prewiring. You can decode your VIN and find out if you have that on your build sheet.
