How do I know if my 2015 BMW Touring is towbar prepared?

Presumably you mean electrically. Have a look at the wiring to the rear lights and any cabling or connectors at the rear bulkhead of the car. Remember, you can't fit any old towbar anyway. Must be EC Type Approved for the car. And yo may also need to increase the transmission and engine cooling.
