More about BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo Towbars
Adding a towbar takes the practicality of this vehicle even further—making it capable of towing small trailers, camper vans, or bike racks with ease. For full towing functionality, you’ll need a dedicated wiring kit, often available in 7-pin (for basic trailer lighting) or 13-pin (for caravans and advanced towing features). Dedicated kits are designed to communicate with the BMW’s onboard systems, ensuring safety features like trailer stability control work as intended.
