Nice.

I opted for the OEM and just had the dealer fit it prior to delivery. No other real options in Canberra that I could see.

Only tried to remove the ball assembly once and was a bit of a PITA. I prefer to leave it on the car for that little additional protection from other bumpers.

I received a harness with an inline box which connects the round plug on the car to the flat connector on the trailer. The dealer rattled on about it being required for non led light equiped trailers. As my trailer has led lights I'm not sure if its needed or not. Also not sure if its waterproof enough to leave on the trailer full time so it stays in the car. Another PITA as its rather big and I need to cable tie it to the drawbar.

As for the bikes, I already had Thule roof bike carriers so I just invested in a set of racks. Thule WingBar Edge in black. Priced similarly to the BMW ones.
