01 View BMW DiagramSee this part on the official exploded view→Genuine BMW part 71 60 6 870 518: Control unit, trailer tow hitch. The number stamped on the part is 71606870518; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 6870518. You will find it on our Tools shelf, under Other Equipment Parts parts. It supersedes the older number 6867932, so a part carrying that number is the same part. BMW has since replaced it with 6872320.
BMW's catalog records no E36 or E46 it is fitted to; it belongs to other BMW models.
BMW draws it on 4 diagrams, among them Control unit, rear rack (61_3657) and electric parts, towbar (71_0685). It weighs about 170 g (0.4 lb).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
