I'm glad you had the option, Dave. No towing/trailering outfit over
here in the US would touch my BMW, and the dealer flatly stated "you can't tow trailers with a BMW". So I was on my own - absolutely no choice! By the way, equipping the BMW to tow the Cobra was easy. It took 2 hours once I had the Kriss isolator (the only isolator made, AFAIK, that isolates independent cars and feeds independent trailers). The real challenge lay in getting the Hoppy 48845 (needed to drive a combined trailer off of the Kriss) to work properly! Hoppy engineers said they had never heard of anyone doing it before - and all it needed were simple 470 ohm 1/4 watt resistors. -John David Salmon wrote: Does sound very complicated and time consuming. What I did was contact a local (Sheffield, UK) towbar company who came and fitted one to my BMW at home for about £250 towbar, electrics and fitting, and it works just fine on my Cobra. Dave Salmon |
