OEM BMW Trailer hitch retrofit on pre-LCI 530e
Don’t ask me why but I wanted BMW to retrofit OEM electro-retractable Westfalia trailer hitch to my 10/2019 G30 530e (the iDrive 7 Lite version). After a few phone calls, BMW installed it claiming 2000kg tow limit (same as LCI 530e) but when I went to get the hitch officially added to my car papework, the clerk refused to do it claiming it cannot be done as this car doesn’t have official tow values listed in the records. After a few weeks and a few more phone calls, it is now official and I even got VIN matched B-pillar sticker showing the towing limit. The only downside is towing is limited to just 1500kg, not the full 2000kg as LCI 530e (so 4000kg in total for car and trailer). It’s still plenty for my needs and to total cost was less than upgrading to LCI 530e. Cost me CZK80k so around $3500.
