Does anyone on here have a 1.25'' trailer hitch reciever on their E-class? I'm a cyclist and currently use a trunk-mounted bike rack, but want to go with a hitch-style rack so I can use my trunk (and not scratch my paint).

If you have a hitch, will you please post a picture? Also, I've heard a rumor about a foldable/concealable hitch, but haven't seen one or found a part number.

Any help is appreciated.

I have one, it's completely hidden until you press a button in the boot, then it folds out automatically. Very neat, you won't get oil on your hands anymore. can snap a photo if you are interested.

It's exactly like this one on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBp5GSwxXes

Did you ever find a good hitch? Looking for one that is hidden but haven't had much luck (valley hitches makes one that is totally hidden, called the stealth, but they don't make for the E class). Only need it occasionally for bike rack and don't want to have a tacky hitch the rest of the time.

That would be awesome, wife hates the look of pipes under the bumper and having that option would be awesome.

Looks like its not a very popular option in the US, I never found the folds out version offered for the US with out connector.
