Howdy folks!
Not sure if this is the correct place to to post up the info. Basically, i'm going down the route of installing the tesla OEM tow bar on my M3P.
Yes - the m3 is not homologate, but I won't be using it for towing, just for a bike rack.
I've managed to source:
* m3 tow bar (used) - £90
* tesla bag and swan neck (new) - £90
I've ordered these parts from Tesla - seems pretty reasonable in terms of cost - £70 odd
The only sticking point is that i need "someone" to enable trailer mode on my car after the above has been fitted. I dont have access to toolbox to do so
Anyone in the UK that is able to assist with this? Electrics will work fine for the bike rack regardless. It would be nice for the car to "know",
All of the above is dependent on the grey plug being behind the bumper. I've tried to take a look, but there simply isn't enough space to check without taking the bumper off.
This is the plug i'm talking about.
