Which Towbar is best for my BMW 2 Series?
There are three different styles of towbars available for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, a fixed flange towbar, a fixed swan neck towbar and the detachable swan neck towbar.
The fixed flange towbar is an excellent option for those who do not wish to remove the Towbar after they have finished towing, although the chunkier design is known for causing some interference from the rear parking sensors. The fixed flange towbar is great for pairing with towing accessories such as bumper protector plates and bolt on cycle carriers. The accessories use the bolt on plate at the rear of the towbar meaning the driver is able to use the accessories at the same time as towing.
The fixed swan neck towbar has a thinner towbar neck to the fixed flange towbar and therefore is less likely to be detected by parking sensors; however, this is not guaranteed. This is a great option for those who prefer a sleeker-looking towbar but do not want to remove it after towing is completed. The fixed swan neck is compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and can be used with all cycle carriers that clamp on to the towball.
The detachable swan neck towbar is the perfect choice for those who want to protect their vehicle's aesthetic. Once towing is completed, the towbar neck can be removed, and the Towbar will appear practically invisible. The towbar neck is removed by unlocking the neck and using a twist and push action. The detachable towbar is also compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and all clamp on style cycle carriers.
Will it need a bumper cut?
When fitting the fixed swan neck and the fixed flange towbar there is no need to remove the vehicle's bumper or make any modifications to the bumper, unless the bumper isn't the standard bumper. The detachable towbar would require the bumper to be removed during fitment, this will be refitted upon completion of the installation. The detachable swan neck towbar would also require a small non-visible bumper cut to be made to the vehicle's undertray, this would only be noticeable if you were looking underneath the vehicle. If your BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe has been modified this could lead to a larger incision being made, our informative towbar engineer will discuss all alterations at the beginning of the towbar installation.
