While I can't see anyone has listed a tow bar yet (or tow hitch as you yanks call them) I don't think the exhaust placement is the be all and end all.

Have a look at the M340i's they run a very similar rear muffler, yet Stealth Hitch have had a product for them for some time.

We may find that the chassis is very similar and they just haven't had the demand yet to build one.

I'll reach out to see what they say, if I get a non committal response we may all have to email them to show demand. Worst case for me is I may try to adapt one for a M340i.
I watched a few exhaust install videos and I'm 100% sure a normal 3/4 series hitch won't work on an M3/M4. There is nothing to mount it on.
At least there is the roof rack option for cyclists. Motorcyclists ... tough luck towing a bike.
