Fitment questions
Does the BMW i5 have a towbar at all?
Yes, BMW offered a factory-fitted towbar as an option on the i5 (G60), so used towbars do exist from dismantled cars. Not every i5 will have been ordered with one, so supply from breakers may be limited, but they are genuine factory parts rather than aftermarket additions. When requesting a quote, confirm with the breaker that the car they are dismantling was actually fitted with a towbar before placing an order.
Will a towbar from a 2024 i5 fit my 2023 i5?
The BMW i5 launched in 2023 as the G60 generation, so a 2023 and 2024 car share the same platform and body structure, making fitment very likely to be the same. However, confirm with the breaker against your registration that no mid-production pressing or mounting-point changes have been made, as these can occur without a formal facelift. The breaker can cross-reference your VIN to make sure.
Does the trim level affect which towbar I need — for example, does an eDrive40 use a different one to an M60?
Trim and drivetrain level do not affect towbar fitment on the i5 — the rear body structure and tow-hitch mounting points are the same across eDrive40, xDrive40, and M60 variants. You may find cosmetic differences in bumper cut-outs or cover panels between trim levels, so check with the breaker whether the finisher panel from their donor car matches yours. The tow-hitch mechanism and wiring loom are what you really need to match, and these are body-style and generation dependent rather than trim dependent.
The i5 comes as a saloon and a Touring estate — does that affect which towbar I need?
Yes, this is the most important fitment question for the i5 towbar: the saloon (G60) and the Touring estate (G61) have different rear-end structures, so their towbars are not interchangeable. Always confirm with the breaker that the donor car is the same body style as yours — saloon for saloon, Touring for Touring. Getting the body style wrong means the part will not fit regardless of year or trim level.
Can I use an i5 towbar on a BMW i4 or 5 Series G60 petrol model?
The i5 G60 and the combustion-engined 5 Series G60 saloon share the same platform and body shell, so towbar mounting points may well be compatible, but this is not something to assume without checking. The i4 is a different body style altogether (a four-door gran coupé on the G26 platform) and its towbar would not be expected to interchange with the i5 saloon. Confirm any cross-model fitment directly with the breaker against both registrations before buying.
How do I make sure I get the right wiring when buying a used i5 towbar?
The i5 uses BMW's CAN-bus electrical system, so the towbar wiring module needs to be matched to the car's specification — a universal bypass relay will not work correctly. Ask the breaker whether the wiring loom and control module are included with the towbar, as these are often left in the donor vehicle. If possible, supply your registration to the breaker so they can check the module part number against your car's build spec.
