Bike carrier prepared

Featured Replies

I purchased my 2018 BMW X1 last year and was told it had been "Bike Carrier Prepared". I am now looking to fit a Towbar and was wondering if I will still need a dedicated wiring kit for the Towbar?

I have been told by an audi owning friend that His audi came "Towbar Prepared" and that covers all the relevant wiring.

Anyone help?

    Welcome to the Forum

    That is a first, I don't think I have ever heard of "Bike Carrier Prepared" before !!

    All the bike carriers I have seen mount on the Tow Bar and use the tow bar electrics. Most Tow bar fitting companies will have a dedicated wiring kit that makes it pretty much plug and play I know both Witter and Westfalia do check their websites and agents.

    Hope this helps

    Westfalia are BMW OEM suppliers
