More about the BMW 6 Series
With a six hundred and ten-litre boot capacity, the 6 Series GT provides ample space for luggage for longer journeys, ideal when travelling to distant caravan sites with the family. The powerful engine options available on the 6 Series GT allow the vehicle to tow comfortably, able to quickly pick up speed for merging onto motorways or traverse tough climbs on country roads.
What's my Towing Capacity?
The 2017 to 2020 BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo has up to a maximum of 2100kg braked towing capacity, allowing it to tow even small to medium caravans. The best way to receive an accurate towing capacity for your vehicle is by checking your vin plate. This is usually located under the bonnet or on the passenger door sill. Our sales team will be happy to help if you need any further assistance.
Which Towbar is best for my BMW 6 Series?
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?
No bumper cut is required on the BMW 6 Series GT towbars, though a cut to the undertray beneath the vehicle is needed. When the towbar neck is detached from the housing and the electrics are pivoted behind the bumper, you would never suspect a towbar was fitted.
