Only difference is, if it breaks, it only breaks itself and hopefully not the car (assuming good mounting to the chassis.

Even most of the steel bumpers I have seen don't mount to the chassis well enough to fill me with confidence.

I would keep it where it is, or tie it to the roof rack (bad for the centre of gravity but good for the rear suspension).

If it mounts on the tow bar should it not be strong enough? tow bar is usually properly mounted.

I want to get the weight of the tire of the door and if I can do that without fitting an aftermarket rear bumper would it not be less weight then as well?

Tow bar should be well enough mounted as long as it's not the light-duty towbar often fitted to the facelift Y61's that mount only to the recovery point's bolts.

But the carrier itself will be difficult to make strong enough as you can't spread the load out.
