According to my dealer its the rack system or towbar on the R56 as the rack system uses some of the same mounting points.

The reason a R57 cannot have a towbar is due to the additional body supports on the rear and something to do with the fold mechanism. A towbar could have been developed by BMW but as would have been for such a small market that the price would be very expensive due to the Tuv safety costs., therefore it is probable that the after market towbar manufacturers my take the same view.
