BMW USA has no hitch or tow bar option for 1s. You can only get one by going aftermarket. And I've only seen the Curtis hitch that is referenced in the DIY. Typcially there are several other brands offered in the U. S.. Are your prices from the dealer? Even so they look very high. But when I put a hitch on my SUV, the dealer wanted something like 4 times what the aftermarket prices were - so maybe what you are seeing is not so different.
