E53 with aero kit - is it possible to fit a towbar

Post by sleepyfolk » Mon Feb 16, 2015 11:38 pm

Seen an x5 with an aero kit fitted, does anyone know if it is still possible to fit a detachable towbar with the aero kit, looking at the photos it doesn't look like there is a removable panel as on other e53 models?

That was a tidy 4.4 I was going to look at many moons ago with a crazy arse body kit , as you can see I bought a 4.6 in the end and you can certainly get a tow bar on that, the one with the aero kit sold before I could get to it so I never did find out!

Yes, I have a WF fitted to mine, when not in use the cover fits back in the hole. My reverse cam is fitted in the cover and just unplugs when towing.
