I have ordered a new BMW from a main dealer with electric tow ball. I have instructed the dealership that I will be towing a caravan, and have asked for confirmation that it will be wired so that fridge and battery charging etc are working. I have now been
told that it can only be carried if I have an adapter supplied. When they e mailed a diagram I was suprised to see that it contained 3 plug-ins and some extra wiring which they could not explain its use. After going onto various forums, it appears that on
some German cars there have been issues regarding wiring for the fridge etc,but eventually they have been sorted out. Has anybody out there had any issues with BMW, if so how were they reconciled. What they are offering is just not acceptable on a new car
with factory fitted accesories. The car is due late March early Feb.
