My friend wants a tow-bar for his new 116 bmw. They quote him R26000.
Sounds a bit heavy for me.
 
If that is the case its nit a bad price imo
 
The 116 towbar costs R7300 from BMW. Any quote that deviates too much from that is BS and your buddy should kick up a storm.

You haven't been car dealer shagged till you buy a Porsche
 
It's not the fitting of the tow bar that's the expensive part. It's the re-fitting of electronics. Maybe they are quoting for a new loom, reprogramming ecu, the electronic stability program might need additional sensors, etc.
 
Tow bar would affect the parking sensors as well wouldn't it?
