Trailer Hitch Installation - 1999 BMW 323i - Video
Today on this 1999 BMW 323i we are going to install part number C11174 from Curt. The first step would be to get into the trunk and remove the spare tire since the hitch itself mounts up to the bottom of the spare tire well. Our next step is to lay out our stiffener brackets that go inside the spare tire well. You are going to get two of these right here. You can see one of the arms is a little bit longer. This one is longer on this side than this one. The long armed side is going to go up against the vertical surface of the trunk pan. It is going to fit in these grooves right here and this edge should be pretty close to this top edge. 00:43 more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2001 BMW 530i - Video
Today we are going to install part number 11179 from Curt on our 2001 BMW 530i. To begin our install, we are going to get underneath some access panels here. First off, we have to get to the spare tire cover and actually take out the spare tire. We will be drilling into the spare tire well, so it is always a good idea to stay away from the spare tire. After removing the spare tire, we will get behind these access panels here. And there are three nuts with integrated washers that actually bolt the bumper to the end of this frame rail, right here. And we need to take those three completely off. And it will be the same on both sides. All right, there are three clips that need to be removed to take off the bumper. There is one on the bottom, one kind of on the side there, and then finally there is one up there toward the top. We just need to take the center part out of it and the rivet will come out, and we can move this splash guard out of the way. Okay, at this point we can go ahead and remove the bumper. We need to do that to have access for drilling. And at this point, you will need an extra set of hands. more
