As the title says, I'm looking to buy a trailer hitch and wiring for my 1990 325ix. Winter is coming and I need to get a snowmobile into the hills!

Also, anyone have any experience with towing? A sled weighs about 500lbs, and I have a manual transmission, so I'm thinking there shouldn't be any major problems?

Thanks.

thats where I bought mine. I tow 2 standup jetskis with my E30, and it pulls them out of the water on a steep ramp just fine. Your snowmobile will be no problem, especially since you wont be pulling them up a steep hill like I always need to. Mine is a 5 speed as well.

Great, thanks for the help, I went ahead and bought one. Did you use their wiring kit as well? I'm thinking I'll just wire it myself and save the $60.

Yes I bought their wiring kit, is was pretty easy to do. It has some little electronic box, hooks up to 12v to give stronger power to the trailer lights.
