Having seen this with other electric SUVs, I’m not so sure this a a BMW problem so much as it is a US regulations headache. I am not familiar with said Regs, but since it happens frequently, i do wonder if its just too much pain.
You’re assuming it’s a matter of how. And not how much. I assume for model x which was their only towing vehicle they had to do it for customer satisfaction. It may not make sense based on the ix sales figures to do it yet or at all. Look at all the other Evs that have hitch options outside the us but not in the us. Model 3 even. It’s not uncommon. Therefore it has to be a regulation cost effort issue.
