BMW 3 Series 7 Pin Electrics (F30/F31)

7 Pin Kits

The socket has 7 pins, hence the name, if you are towing a trailer, cycle carrier or towing counterpart that needs power to lighting functions only, you will need a universal or dedicated 7 pin (12N) electrics kit.

Vehicle Specific Kits vs Universal Kits

The most obvious difference between a vehicle specific or dedicated wiring kit and a universal wiring kit is price with universal kits being cheaper in most cases.

We recommend dedicated electrics for any vehicle still under warranty as fitting universal wiring kits that do not specifically correspond with the vehicles electrical and wiring system will invalidate your manufacturer's warranty.

In most modern vehicles, a bypass relay s required when fitting universal kits to coordinate power between the vehicle and towing counterpart - we include a bypass in your kit for any vehicles that need it.

In some cases where a 7 pin dedicated kit isn't available for your car, we will provide you with an adapter so you can carry on using your trailer, cycle carrier or caravan.

Technical Key Words

We know that wiring kits can be confusing, and sometimes we use technical phrases and abbriviations that you may or may not understand. Here's our quick Technical Key Word Guide:

TP

TP or Trailer Preparation (also known as "Towing Preparation" or "Prepared Connector") just means that when your car was being made, the manufacturer added a special wiring connector specifically for towing - it is located at the rear of your car making it easier to fit the wiring kit. If you don't know if your car has TP or not, you will need to contact the car manufacturer.

Bypass

Only used on universal kits, a bypass is a box that allows the wiring to bypass the vehciles faults system when you install and cut the wiring loom on vehicles with CANBUS systems. We have included a bypass in your kit if your car requires it - make sure you buy the right year towbar to ensure you are getting the right universal electrics kit.

Good but heavy and kills towing eye

08/11/2017, 11:12

I bought this item because its one of the cheaper ones that doesn't have vague incompatibilities listed as I have a 335D M-Sport X-Drive.

Unlike some other brands this completely replaces the factory bumper rather than fitting underneath it, as such the towing eye thread is gone as that is part of the factory bumper that this suggests throwing away.

You also need to slightly modify the bumper support plastic so this might negate the possibility of reversing the install.

Its made of VERY thick steel and will add 10kg ish to the car.. but well made.

Instructions detail instructions for an under-tray that most F30/F31s do not have, they instead have a heat shield that needs to be modified, your on your own working out how to do that although getting hold of instructions for other brands may help.

Great towbar, instructions are ok. The detachable towbar is so easy to take on and off, much better than the witter equivalent I had fitted to my old car. Great towbar

Very heavy, sturdy part. A bit of a fiddle fitting some of the existing car parts back as you have to modify and drill out some plastic clips to accept some M6 bolts. Other than that, very good tow bar.
