I took these today, only from close up, because I wouldn't have a chance to blank out the license plate.These are closeups from a low angle. I think it looks much more noticeable here than in person. But I think you needed closeups to see the installation

See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com Even my wife didn't complain about it. I think the dealer said that the bumper came with a bump-out / cutout and it was a matter of popping it out. For my use, you need access well to the right and left of the hitch for the safety chains for towing, and for the electric hookup. I'd heard complaints about the bumper being hacked, but really thought BMW took care of that with the pre-set cutouts. In person and from a distance, it really isn't as bad as these photos appear, but however it looks, the things gotta work for a living, too.
I hope this helps.

Please don't ask for "personal" responses via email. We all benefit when a problem or issue is discussed on the open forum. Thanks.

I never got around to putting an electric brake controller on this vehicle, so I've limited to ttowing. It towed a well-loaded trailer of less than 2,000 pounds just fine. The manual and vehicle plate have the max towing, but personally, I won't go over 3,000 pounds very often. And nowhere near the limits with the brake controller. If you get one installed, I'd like to know how that went and how and who did it. Thanks.
