    Now I know this does't sound like a Blade question but if I don't get a towbar fitted I can't tow a bike trailer to the track, so there you go you all must help because its a Blade related cry for help?

    I have a BMW 330d M Sport with Lady parking (parking sensors). will a non detachable:confused: tow bar activate the parking sensors or do I need to fit a swan neck version??

    Swan neck one is much much better and all the electrics normally are tucked up when not in use.Had one fitted on my 06 320d m sport. When I sold it the people enquiring all said if it were a rigid type they would not buy the car.Bear this in mind when you come to sell it.All my beemers have got to be m sports they look much better.No issues with sensors in fact they are good if the trailer/caravan is too close to the bumper when reversing.
