BMW is one of the world’s most recognisable luxury car brands, with millions of vehicles on the road today. The name BMW stands for Bavarian Motor Works, and its iconic logo reflects the colours of Bavaria, where the company is headquartered.

Founded in 1917 as Rapp-Motorenwerke in Munich, BMW initially focused on aircraft engine production. Its first car, the BMW Dixi, was manufactured between 1927 and 1929.

BMW has since become one of the most successful luxury vehicle manufacturers in the world, recently winning the highest number of awards at the What Car? Car of the Year 2023 awards. The brand is admired globally, with celebrity owners including Pierce Brosnan, Angelina Jolie, and David Hasselhoff.

Innovation lies at the heart of BMW’s engineering. Advanced technologies are developed to enhance the driving experience, delivering exceptional performance, control, and comfort in all driving conditions.

We supply a wide range of towbars to suit BMW vehicles, from the executive BMW 3 Series to the spacious and family-friendly BMW X5. If you need help choosing the right towbar for your BMW, our knowledgeable sales team is always happy to assist.

There are two main types of towbar wiring available: Universal Aftermarket Wiring and Dedicated Vehicle-Specific Wiring.

Universal aftermarket wiring is the lower-cost option but comes with certain limitations. Dedicated vehicle-specific wiring—also known as plug-in kits or dedicated wiring looms—is increasingly popular and represents the correct solution for modern BMW vehicles.

Vehicle-specific wiring integrates seamlessly with BMW’s onboard systems, enabling safety features such as Trailer Stability Control and automatically disabling parking sensors while towing.

Each wiring kit is designed specifically for the vehicle it is installed on. Unlike universal wiring, which often requires soldering or Scotch Locks, dedicated kits connect directly to the vehicle’s systems as intended by the manufacturer.

If your BMW is less than three years old or still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, vehicle-specific wiring is essential to protect that warranty.
