Choosing the Right Towbar for Your BMW: Expert Tips from TrailerTREK Towbars

If you’re searching for BMW towbars and tow bar fitting Birmingham, you’ve come to the right place. At TrailerTREK Towbars, we specialise in high-quality BMW towbar supply, fitting, and electrics – offered right at your doorstep with our trusted mobile service.

Why BMW Owners Trust TrailerTREK Towbars

BMW owners demand precision engineering – and that starts with correctly fitted towbars. We supply a full range of towbars for popular models (1 Series, 3 Series, X5, etc.), including fixed, detachable, swan neck, and retractable options, all designed specifically for BMW chassis.

Our expert mobile fitting service in Birmingham means we come to you, saving you time and hassle—and ensuring your towbar is installed and coded correctly for BMW’s advanced systems .


Which BMW Towbar Is Right for You?

1. Fixed Flange Towbar

  • Best for: Frequent towing of heavier loads.
  • Benefits: Strong, versatile; ideal for bike racks and stabilisers.

2. Detachable Flange Towbar

  • Best for: Those who tow occasionally and want a clean bumper look.
  • Benefits: Easy to remove when not in use – great for leased vehicles or aesthetics.

3. Fixed Swan Neck Towbar

  • Best for: Light towing with a sleeker design.
  • Benefits: Compact profile; less likely to interfere with parking sensors.

4. Detachable Swan Neck Towbar

  • Best for: Style-conscious drivers who tow irregularly.
  • Benefits: Disappears when removed – but still safe and robust.

5. Retractable Towbar

  • Best for: BMW owners seeking maximum convenience and aesthetics.
  • Benefits: Folds under the bumper – no need to detach; premium upgrade .
