What's included in each BMW hitch package?
Stealth Hitches offers a rack only package and a combo package with tow and rack options. The same cross beam and vertical latch block are used on all packages so if you need to upgrade to tow later you can with the BMW X6M High Performance Conversion Package.
The BMW X6M High Performance hitch Rack Package comes with standard 2" detachable rack receiver that accepts current versions of bike racks, ski racks, cargo platforms, and other square tube accessories. A wiring harness is not required if rack connections are the customers only application.
The BMW X6M High Performance Combo Hitch Package uses a detachable ball mount that operates differently than a typical square tube receiver hitch. When inserted into the stainless-steel receiver block, a tight connection is created to the vehicle frame, eliminating the jerking and banging associated with square tube receivers type hitches during starts and stops. This solid connection creates less wear and tear on the vehicle transmission and is a more pleasurable ride for the passengers. The tight connection also allows our hitch to pass the more stringent European test requirements which carry a higher towing rating than the US rating. Our hitches conform to both US (SAE) and European (EU) test requirements.
Active Harness
We also offer an active harness option for added features such as:
- Disabling the back-up sensor to eliminate beeping while backing up to your trailer.
- Rear camera zoom at the trailer connection point for positioning the vehicle and preventing damage to the vehicle.
- Stability control to limit trailer sway.
- This harness requires the same programming as the factory hitch harness.
- We can program your vehicle remotely, preventing the need to take the car to a dealer or BMW shop for programming.
