Looking for a good trailer hitch

[efreak]

Looking for a class 1 hitch for my 1990 325i, anyone know a good one?

[raafhimself]

yes. the brand you're looking for is disdik. disdik makes a solid hitch for you to strap your bottom onto.

BURNED.

I bought the http://www.curtmfg.com/ curt e30 trailer hitch. The thing is beefy - considering it's a class 1. I haven't installed it yet - but I'm hoping that I can use it with a light utility trailer to do some home improvement projects with it. Buying a truck isn't where I want to be sinking money into. Plus I'll have something to tow my Kart with ;)

They are on ebay, search for "bmw hitch" - HTH

What about the euro style hitch? It's .08 of an inch smaller than a 2in ball. People haven't had any issues using a US 2in hitch on it. I'm willing to go this method on mine because one I don't have to cut my M-tech, two it's detachable, and three I think it looks better.

This one has worked quite well for me. Someone on here was selling a similar one.

I've got one, you want to buy it? I don't think I'm going to use it anytime soon, I wanted to make a tire trailer but I have other priorities right now.

I think part of the reason is bc these are next to impossible to find and ship to the states. I have one though muhahahaha.

How is the electrical components hooked up? And does anyone know if the E36 bumper spacing is the same or close to E30?

You can get euro hitches new here:

You will also need a wiring converter like this:

Euro cars have separate turn and brake lights, but US cars/trailers are combined, so you need the converter box to make it work.

So, I just picked up an OEM wiring set. Good, worthless?

Also thank's for the tow bar information, I was getting ready to make my own.

That is useless because it is a euro plug. Like I said before, you need a converter to "mix" the turn signals and the brake lights, unless you want to make your trailer have euro lights.
