Hi,
Bought a 2006 X5 second hand. Went to fit the tow bar (BMW part number 6761678) and a) it does not lock open on turning and pulling out the knob, ans b) it locates into the groove but the knob does not register as locked...nor can you use the locking key.
try as I may I cannot get it out in this position without again turning the knob, I feel it too much of a risk to start towing my Shetland without confirmation that the system is totally secure. Has anyone met this problem before......and does anyone on where a fully working u it might be that is for sale. Begrudge paying BMW prices when it could be that even that one does not work.
