Invisihitch pics

In case anyone is thinking of adding this.

I had a dealer do the install (BMW of Fife). Very clean looking but it is pretty low. Works fine for my bike rack.

Hey D, looks good! Does it "go away" when not needed or does it stay there permanently?

It pretty easily rotates and removes. Takes just a minute and there's also a lock although I can't imagine someone wanting to steal it.

I haven't tried connecting the hitch wiring, but overall the systems is pretty slick.

You mean rotates to take it off, or can you actually rotate it out of sight and leave it attached?

The receiver detaches completely. I installed it myself and love the setup. It's there when you need it and when you're done you just take it off and the car looks like it doesn't have a hitch installed. Let me know if you want some pics and I can upload some as well.

It rotates to remove. When you take the receiver off you can't see that anything's non-stock.

Invisihitch is the OEM BMW hitch for the rest of the world outside of the USA.

Here is a link to an informative thread on hitches;
