Retrofit kit number 71 60 2 287 213 Electrical components retrofit kit 71 60 6 868 317 Trailer tow hitch removable Installation time The installation time is approx. 4.0 hours. This may vary depending on the condition of the vehicle and the equipment in it. The fan frame and fan will need to be replaced on certain models of vehicle. The installation time in this case will increase by around 1.5 hours. The installation time shown does not include any time spent on programming / coding. The calculation of the total costs for the programming time must be factored into the calculation of retrofitting costs (no charges may be made through the warranty). Important information These installation instructions are primarily designed for use within the BMW dealership organisation and by authorised BMW service companies. In any event, the target group for these installation instructions is specialist personnel trained on BMW cars with the appropriate specialist knowledge. ll work must be completed using the latest BMW repair manuals, wiring diagrams, servicing manuals and work instructions, in a rational order, using the prescribed tools (special tools) and observing current health and safety regulations. If you experience installation or function problems, restrict troubleshooting to approx. 0.5 hours for mechanical work and 1.0 hour for electrical work. To avoid unnecessary extra work and/or costs, send an inquiry straight away to the technical parts support team via the ftersales ssistance Portal (SP). Quote the following information: Chassis number, Retrofit kit part number, detailed description of the problem, and the steps already taken. Do not archive the hard copy of these installation instructions since daily updates are made via SP! BMW G, Munich 01 29 2 357 544 11/2014 (Z/Z) 2.1 1/19

Installation information! The fan frame and fan will need to be replaced on certain models of vehicle. If you do not replace the electric fan, the towing capacity will be reduced and the engine may stop. Ensure that the cables and/or lines are not kinked or damaged as you install them in the car. Costs arising from this will not be reimbursed by BMW G. dditional cables/wires that you install must be secured with cable ties. If the specified PIN chambers are occupied, bridges, double crimps or twin-lead terminals must be used. ll pictures show LHD cars; proceed accordingly on RHD cars. fter the installation work, the retrofit must be programmed / coded via the Conversions path. Ordering instructions G control unit C is not included in the retrofit kit and must be ordered separately (see EPC for part number and further details). Legal requirements type approval in accordance with EC Directive 94/20/EC ppendix VII exists for the trailer tow hitch, with EC homologation marke7*55r*011426. If you comply with these regulations and notes in these installation instructions, no special acceptance test pursuant to 19 of the German Road Traffic Licensing Directive and no special entry in the vehicle registration document is necessary.

9. Statutory regulations pursuant to EC Directive 94/20/EC ppendix VII Regulations for the homologation of a vehicle for the optional installation of mechanical connection devices (trailer tow hitches) 1. General regulations 1.1 The vehicle manufacturer determines which types and classes of connecting devices can be fitted onto the vehicle type, and specifies the values D, V1, S or U (if applicable) which are based on the design of the vehicle type in combination with the planned type of connecting devices. The code values D, V, S or U of the connecting devices approved in accordance with this directive must be greater than or equal to those specified for the vehicle type in question. 1.2 The connection devices must be installed on the vehicle type in accordance with the installation instructions specified by the vehicle manufacturer and in compliance with the manufacturer of the connection device and the Technical Service. The vehicle manufacturer shall define the permitted points for securing the connection devices to the vehicle type and, if necessary, the mountings, installation plates, etc. that must be mounted on this specific vehicle type. 1.3 Only automatic hitches are allowed to be used for hitching up trailers with a total mass of more than 3.5 tonnes to motor vehicles; these automatic hitches must permit an automatic hitching procedure. 1.4 When connecting devices of class B, D, E and H are fitted to trailers, it is always necessary to assume a value of 32 tonnes for the total mass T of the towing vehicle in order to calculate the D value. If the D value of the connecting device for T = 32 tonnes is not sufficient, the resultant restriction relating to the mass T of the towing vehicle and the mass of the vehicle combination (towing vehicle and trailer) must be specified in the approval sheet for the trailer. 1 1 The V value must only be specified for vehicles with a technical gross weight in excess of 3.5 tonnes.

9. Statutory regulations pursuant to EC Directive 94/20/EC 2. Special regulations 2.1 Fitting coupling balls and towing brackets (ball head with coupling device) 2.1.1 When coupling balls with holders are fitted to a vehicle type of class M1, class M2 below 3.5 tonnes or class N1, the clearance and height dimensions shown in figures 1 and 2 must be maintained. This requirement does not apply to off-road vehicles in the sense of ppendix II of Directive 92/53/EEC. Unspecified details are to be selected to suit the appropriate purpose. The dimensions and angles must be checked using suitable measuring instruments. 2.1.2 The vehicle manufacturer must supply installation instructions for coupling balls and towing brackets. These installation instructions must specify whether the attachment area requires reinforcing. 2.1.3 It must also be possible to couple and uncouple coupling heads when the longitudinal axis of the coupling head in relation to the centre line of the coupling ball and towing bracket a) is turned horizontally b = 60 to the right or left (see Figure 2), b) is turned vertically a = 10 upwards or downwards (see Figure 1), c) is rotated axially through 10 to the right or left. 2.1.4 The mounted coupling ball must not obscure the rear registration plate or the space provided for the rear registration plate; otherwise, a ball that can be removed without requiring special tools must be used. 2.2 Installing towing ball couplings 2.2.1 Class B coupling heads are permitted to be used with trailers of a gross mass up to 3.5 tonnes. Tow ball head couplings must be installed in such a way that the coupling point of the trailer - when the trailer is horizontal and with a permitted axle load - is 430 mm ± 35 mm above the horizontal wheel contact level (see Figure 3). The horizontal position for caravans and trailers is the position in which the floor or the loading bed is horizontal. On trailers without a reference area of this type (for example boat trailers or the like) the manufacturer of the trailer must specify a suitable reference line to define the horizontal position. The required height only applies to trailers that are to be coupled to the vehicles listed in 2.1.1. 2.2.2 It must be possible to operate coupling heads safely within the clearance of the coupling ball as shown in figures 1 and 2 BMW G, Munich 01 29 2 357 544 11/2014 (Z/Z) 2.1 18/19
