Getting a tow bar fitted on Thursday to my F30 330d by a professional company and was wondering how they'd do it and overcome the heat shield. You've eased my mind a little, thank you
Do you forget to put bumper rail back on over the tow bar? Or you left it for purpose . Just wondering I will be doing it myself so I am researching subject. I’ve seen other guys fitting it back on. Thanks for posting btw!
Hi thank you for commenting I hope this proves helpful 👍🏻. The rear black crash beam is removed / left off as the tow bar beam acts as a replacement crash beam only containing the tow bar mounting bracket. I have also done a video from my wiring a universal 13 pin socket as I could not justify the cost of a plug and play socket. This may be useful too. All the best
Hi thanks for the comment :). The harness I have was a universal 13 pin socket. I have a video on the channel for the harness install and wire connections that might help. I could not justify the price difference between the universal socket and a plug and play socket. Regards

Great video, thanks. Does the harness have a plug in socket once the cable was fed into the boot? Is your socket a 13 pin?

Thinking of doing this myself. Great job by the way! How did the internal wiring go?
Hi thank you 🙏, the wiring was a little pain but got there in the end and all works perfect. Here is a link that may help with the wiring 👍🏻. Regards
