What a relief!
OK, so I follow this thread and understand that you can PUT a hitch on most cars. That's all I really want, my convertible Volvo didn't have a hitch as an option, but it took 10 minutes to put one on aftermarket (well, the wiring took some time, stupid amperage sensors!)
I looked up all the cars that compete with the M3 on eTrailer.com and the 2017 BMW Series 3, the Mercedes C-Class coupe, and the Audi A4 all have hitches available for install. Oddly there is no hitch listed for the 2017 Tesla Model S.
What has me concerned is all this talk about manufacturer approved tow capability. If I put an aftermarket hitch on and it lets loose, are we saying insurance could deny me coverage?? I have to have a hitch from the manufacturer to have approved towing?
