Trailer hitch for E55

There was a thread on here last year about bike racks for the E55, but there were no responses. Does anyone on here have a 1.25'' receiver/hitch on their E55 or E-class? If so, can you send a picture? Thanks.

I don't know guys.... I have a roof rack that I take on and off when I go surfing... so, a hitch for a bike may not be as horrific a violation as first imagined... the key here is that it can come on/off so you aren't constantly driving around with the hitch.

Keep searching. There is a foldaway hitch available. I don't remember the part number.

Ignore everyone else. It's your car. Go for it.

makes your daughter horny
bump.. I've been searching but have only found the curt and etrailer.com hitches which both say "minor facia trimming required". A foldaway one sounds amazing. I'm primarily looking for one that doesn't required cutting the AMG bumper on my e320 w/ AMG kit.

I would like to tow my motorcycle to track days with it and also carry road bikes.

My father tows his motorcycle behind his corvette so I figure why not with the E class?

I think this is the hitch you are looking for. I believe it is the 550 hitch, an OEM part from MB.
