    Looking for an E30 Factory Tow Hitch

    WTB - I'm looking for a factory E30 tow hitch assembly for my 1985 325e E30.

    According to the factory parts diagrams which I've seen, it attaches to the unibody "frame" at the rear bumper's shocks' mounting, which makes sense that that portion of the unibody is strengthened there for crash resistance.

    Alternatively, will consider aftermarket hitches using the factory attachment points (FYI the Curt #11702/117023 does not use the factory attachment points, nor does the older DrawTight).

    I'm looking for one to tow our "new to us" vintage 1970 Eriba Puck travel trailer, which we currently tow with our `88 Westfalia.

    Thanx!
    Tom
