Where are the towbar electrics hidden?

It might seem like a daft question but my RRS came with a towbar which is easy to fit, but l can't see where I plug the electrics into.

Or it could be that the electrics have not been fitted!

So it's possible a (detachable) towbar has been supplied and the bracket/fittings, etc. but not the electrics?

That seems a bit unlikely to me so l guess l'll have to hope they're behind the flap in the bumper.

As said above, yes, a detachable towbar could have been bought aftermarket without the electrics.
I ordered mine with my car and the tow bar and electrics were an inclusive price (albeit expensive Thud)

I have seen posts on here saying you can buy the electrics on their own for about £100, apparantly they are a plug and play fit Thumbs Up ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Absolutely correct - that's where it was lurking. Obvious really !

Many thanks.

Very good.

The electrics are an easy fit by the way, I did mine on my D3 (pretty much the same as the RRS). Took a leisurely hour including a cup of tea and some swearing. Gone: 10MY L320 RR Sport HSE, Ipanema Sand
