Trailer hitch for E-class
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.

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.
