Hi Steve,
I opted for the BMW factory fit option but I previously fitted a Witter detachable swan neck to my A6 which was excellent. Expect to pay circa £500 for it fitted.
520d is the best tow car I have owned, it has a good nose weight limit (90kg) and the car is heavy (1710kg) which increases your options when buying a caravan. It was runner up in this category in the What Car tow car test this year (albeit the Touring model) so don’t just take my word for it.
The F10 also has an impressive 2000kg tow limit but you should never tow more than the kerb weight.
