Hi,

I am currently fitting my Witter towbar, all going ok except on the bumper part that you remove, it has a piece that the exhaust hangs off and the towbar doesn't. Is the exhaust ok? or am i missing something

Thanks
Matt

Although it says nothing about this on the Witter site or in the instructions, on the Westfalia site, their bars need an additional exhaust bracket if you have a 335i or 335d (it also states turbocharged on the site too, so it may mean all diesels)

I can't remember doing mine tbh but I had no troubles when I fitted my Witter bar to my 330d

Check out my towbar thread Matt http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=266844 no-one seems to have had trouble with the bracket.

Dave, I used your post as inspiration (Your towbar is the same as mine). Everything went fine except the bracket for the exhaust, I know there was nothing missing as the instructions didn't mention it. I may get someone from work to knock me a bracket up.

I've just been out and crawled underneath mine, the factory bracket is still there; are you sure you aren't missing something here?? There is just too much bumper in the way for me to see it fully, like.

Hi Dave, Thanks for having a look. On the bumper bar that I removed had a welded bracket that held the exhaust rubber.
I've looked on Westfalia site and they show a the carrier that the rubber would fit on. I may give the place I got it from a call tomorrow to see what they say

Fitted a westfalia detachable on my e92 335d.

All went well until we got to the exhaust. The westfalia towbar had a support on the left hand side (prob for a single exhaust) where I was expecting 2 inner ones. I should have got 2 brackets but didnt realise at the time of order.

Anyway, not to worry, we made 2 "C" shaped brackets out of stainless threaded bar & job was a goodun as the threaded bar was conected with a couple of nuts to to towbar.

May be the same for you (buy a bracket from BMW) but I didn't want to give the stealers any money & just wanted it back together asap. More than happy with the way it worked out in the end.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but does the Westfalia towbar have a provision with connecting safety chains?

There is a slot about 25mm x 10mm situated at one side of the socket that the ball goes into.

To the peeps will "missing" exhaust brackets - you DID refit the bumper bar over the towing bracket, didn't you?

I must admit I've not done a dual exhaust one, but on the 320d, the exhaust hanger is on the bumper bar, so I would've thought the twin zorst ones just had a bracket on the other side as well?
