W211 towbar on a W219 for bike carrier

[clk208]

<div class="bbWrapper">Hi folks,<br /> <br /> Anyone know if a W211 towbar Will fit a W219?<br /> <br /> I know the CLS isn’t type approved for towing but apparently depending on your insurer it’s an acceptable modification for bike rack only purposes. <br /> <br /> Recently got into eMTBs which are great fun but heavy to lift onto the roof carrier. Also for full family outings loading onto a low level towbar rack will be much easier. <br /> <br /> Any recommendations on towbar brand? Removable preferred.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">These guys do towbar specifically for cars that aren’t type approved. Just for bike rack purposes. <br /> <br /> None listed for the W219 though.. <br /> <br /> <a href="https://brink.eu/en-gb/about-brink-towbars/blog/bike-carrier-towbar/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Bike carrier towbar - A towbar to transport your bikes.</a></div>
