Hello all,
I have just been offered a towbar for a Z3. What would be a fair price? It's a westfalia detachable.

Westfalia tow bars are the only ones that are truly BMW Z3 compatible and are like hen’s teeth. I paid £400 for one about 5 years ago. one day I may get around to fitting it!
If you really want one, get it
Thanks GZed, does the one in the picture look like yours?Westfalia tow bars are the only ones that are truly BMW Z3 compatible and are like hen’s teeth. I paid £400 for one about 5 years ago. one day I may get around to fitting it!

Is that what we in the US call a trailer hitch? You would use it to tow a small trailer or boat.
Thanks
Thanks
Here’s
Interesting to see the one in your ad also includes two forward pointing rods that look as though they bolt to the chassis rails. (I only intend to use mine to mount a cycle carrier, so no horizontal forces to contend with) . Again looks easy enough to fabricate them if decide I do need them)
Yes - You should see ‘Westfalia’ on the nameplate, and ‘BMW’ should be embossed on the hook. Mine came with the BMW bumper with the special cut-out for the hook when attached, and the cover plate for when it’s not. Simple enough to make a cut-out & to fabricate a cover though.

Yes, exactly that. Or in my case being a keen cyclist & MTBer, I intend to use it to mount a cycle carrier. Means you can still open the boot (trunk) unlike those strap-on cycle carriers. (And no danger of damaging paintwork)
GZED, many thanks indeed for the reply.
