Increased towing capacity option S233A

I ordered the fully electric tow bar, can't wait to have a play with that, and you automatically get the option S233A, enhanced towing capability.

Does anyone know what this extra option actually comprises.

I did see somewhere that it meant the shocks at the back were the same as the self leveling ones, does that mean you get self leveling suspension with the towbar?

This may be of relevance - not sure if it's accurate...

For the E70 and I can't see any such cooler on the F15:

Again, for the E70/71:

I think if you have an M Sport with standard (in UK anyhow) 2VF 'Adaptive M suspension' then there's an additional pneumatic 'spring' which provides self-leveling capability (such that the cars rear ride height will remain at a pre-set height independent of load) If you don't have 2VF though have S2VMA 'Adaptive suspension package Comfort' and/or 4UB '3rd seat row' you get the self leveling set up too.
