Non Can-Am Hitch Reinforcement

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I got my hitch reinforced by someone locally. What do you think? I will be testing it out on a travel trailer with 639lb hitch weight and 5638 dry weight with weight distribution.

I mean, whatever makes you happy, but BMW engineers would have a heart attack seeing this.

Probably better than nothing, but I would want something to reinforce it past the rear axle, towards middle of the car, if I attempted to use a WDH with an F15.

I would rather get a different tow vehicle.

Now you might create torque on body behind the rear axle, and who knows what or how that will affect things.
