This Curt trailer hitch brings true versatility for light-duty towing or carrying accessories. With a 2,000 lb gross trailer weight rating and 200 lb tongue weight capacity, it’s right at home pulling a small trailer or holding a cargo carrier or two-bike rack. The 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening gives you access to a wide range of Class I ball mounts and bike racks, all while keeping things compact and easy to handle.
The square-tube design is precision-welded by a robotic process that locks in strength and alignment. A gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base coat fights rust and road grime, so the hitch keeps looking good after years of use. This combination of heavy-duty steel and durable coating means you can count on consistent performance every time you hitch up.
Installing this hitch doesn’t require special equipment or cutting. It uses a bolt-on design with holes that align to existing factory points, so you can mount it using basic hand tools and the included hardware. The concealed cross tube also helps keep a clean, unobtrusive look under the rear bumper once everything’s tightened down.
Once the hitch is in place, just add your compatible drawbar setup to start towing. Use ball mount?# 3593 for the correct rise/drop, pair it with either the?# 19256?(1-7/8") or?# 19258?(2") hitch balls, and secure it with a pin and clip. Whether hauling a utility trailer or heading out with a bike rack, this Curt Class I receiver gives you reliable performance within its 2,000 lb / 200 lb limits every trip.

This is my second hitch and like the last one it fits like a glove. Easy to install, great service from etrailer delivered quickly.
This hitch has worked very well for attaching a Kuat bike rack to a BMW 328.
“NOAH E” helped me selecting the right set up! Great customer service highly recommended!!
High quality receiver hitch, fits the 3series as described! Works great!!
Installation was easy, once you get the bumper off. But that is because of the vehicle, not the hitch receiver. Perfect fit!
Works great with my bike rack. Mechanic said installation was easy. The receiver was too high so the back skirt of the car needed about 1 X 2 inches cut out.
Perfect for 2014 bmw 328d
Takes about 4h to take the rear bumper out, reinforced bar, add this towing hitch and put back your bumper.
Thank you, etrailer- fast delivery too!
Installation is time consuming, but certainly doable at home if you follow the instructions step by step. Watch the video on the website; it's much better than the written instructions. One thing the video doesn't mention is the heat shield isn't replaced. The final product is very clean and hardly noticeable.
Real nice quality. Good welds, nice powder coat finish. I did make it a bit better by making it a 2” receiver..but not totally necessary. Just fits my other hitches that way.
Hitch was exactly what was advertised and fit my 2014 BMW 328i X-drive Touring superbly. The instructional videos made for a quick and easy install. Super fast shipping (actually arrived 1day prior to estimated delivery date) Highly recommend Etrailer.com for any towing needs!
This was my second hitch and as before, the service was superb from purchase to delivery. There were timely updates between deliveries.
This hitch was for a 2016 BMW 320i.
Just finished installing the Curt 11367 hitch on my 2016 BMW M235i. The 11367 fits the M235i perfectly. Contrary to the instructions I suggest leaving the heatshield on the car, I used metal shears (tin snips) to cut out where it interferes with the hitch, see the picture. Alternately you could carefully hammer the heatshield in those areas to reshape it to clear the hitch. I'll be attaching my 1up bike rack for those more remote mountian bike adventures.
Installed Curt Hitch #C11367 on my 2013 BMW M Sport Package Sedan. Fits perfectly with no issues at all. Not sure why curt only shows it available for the 328i. Get it.
This Trailer Hitch is the real deal. Great material, great gloss black powder coat. Easy to install.
There are a few steps I did not need to take in the installation that the video instructs you to do (lower exhaust off of bracket and remove heat shield) but the video is very helpful.
Was worried about fitment with the M Sport bumper but it clears perfectly. Very cool product, well engineered. Beats spending $600+ for roof racks! (Before buying basket/bike rack)
Shipped quickly as well!
The fact is that the hitch is well made and I have no complaints at all with etrailer. They did a great job. However, be aware that curt does a terrible job with the installation instructions. The instructions are embarrassingly poor. I have a semi-pro garage with all of the tools and it required 3.5 hours to install this on a 2015 BMW 328i wagon. Unfortunately Google wasn't much help either. But it's not rocket science, and can be figured out. It's just a LOT more involved than implied in the marketing material.
You MUST remove the rear heat shield section. The "maybe" provided by Curt is another example of their simply not doing diligence.
Anyway, a good hitch with less than no installation instructions. If I'd known I'd have recorded the process and youtube'd it for future explorers. Pleased with the purchase and etrailer. Obviously a bit riled at Curt. : )
Great product! Install on our 2017 BMW 330ix Wagon was mostly straightforward and directions were easy to follow. I took an afternoon to do it myself. We use the hitch to run the Thule XT 2 bike carrier and it’s been flawless. Only complaint was not seeking out this product sooner.
After 1 year of service, my hitch is performing flawlessly. It's mounted on my 2011 BMW 335i, which is my baby. NOTHING goes in or on that car without first being checked out thoroughly. This hitch is no exception and it's worked out nicely. One of the things I like most about the hitch is how snugly it fits under the bumper (see photo). Ground clearance is already an issue with this car and I didn't want to make it any worse.
After 1 year, hitch is doing fine.
The installation was easier than I thought on my 2018 BMW 430i. The video I watched had you drop the muffler to remove the rear portion of the heatshield (it was never put back on). Instead, I removed the bumper skin and bumper to have easy access to the heatshield. Then used a tin snips to custom cut the heatshield to allow placement of the hitch. All was accomplished without the use of a hoist or ramps.
Also, on the hitch itself, the 1-1/4 inch receiver tube only has 1 hole for the 1/2 inch threaded pin needed to secure my Swagman Rack receiver bar. That hole is 1-1/2 inch into the tube opening. I drilled another 1/2 inch hole 3 inches into the opening. Now the receiver bar uses the full length of the receiver tube and is much more stable. Also, the Swagman Receiver bar has a second hole that I can place another bolt through for even more secure fit.
On 28 September 2019, I ordered a Curt Class I Trailer Hitch - 1-1/4 and Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Platform Rack (For Fat Bike) for installation on my 2013 BMW 328i. The items arrived quickly. Since I work overseas, finding a reputable shop to install the hitch was a challenge. Fortunately for me, etrailer has an excellent how-to video for installing this hitch on a 2013 BMW 328i. The video came in very handy because the mechanic was used to working on trucks and different types of hitches. The installation took approximately 3 hours to complete. So far, both the hitch and platform are working great. As for the platform, it will barely fit 4.8" or larger fat tires (see pictures of my 5" tires) and the front tire must be partially deflated in order to secure the bike properly. Also, the clamping mechanism on the fat tire straps broke after one use. They are a complete waste of $$ IMO. I highly recommend using either rubber tarp straps, bungee cord, or heavy duty velcro straps to further secure the frame and rear wheel. I hope this review helps and let me know if you have any questions. Happy trails!!
Great customer service as usual! Arrived un-damaged as expected. The hitch is sturdy, cleanly painted & solid.
I was somewhat concerned about the installation given that instructions were for a BMW F30 (sedan) v. a F31 (sport-wagon), which is what I own. However, I had no challenges except for the heat shield.
Some online forums suggested removing it entirely, which I could have done, but it seemed like having some of it in place was better than none. So, I cut it to fit as best I could. In hind sight I was a bit aggressive, but successful nonetheless.
Hitch fits very well and I didn't have to cut the bumper which I was happy about.
I only use the hitch for my bike rack, but when going down the highway, things do wobble around a bit, so in hind sight I might have been better off if I had opted for the 2" receiver.
Works great! It was the kit for the f30 body style but saw In a forum that it works with the f80 m3 and it fit perfectly! Have to do wiring through the taillights but the instruction video helped a lot some of the wiring is different for the turn signals and what not but found the diagram online and figured that out easily.
I bought this receiver just a few days after I bought my new car. I decided to have a local shop install it for me, to the tune of $250ish, and it was well worth not messing with parking sensors and removing bumpers, so I can't speak to the ease (or lack thereof) of install. I have a 2018 BMW 4 series, for reference. I have had this receiver on my car for nearly a year, and I absolutely love it. It sits flush with the bumper so when I remove my rack, it's barely noticeable. I absolutely recommend it.

Have had absolutely no issues this last year! Got an add-on for my 1up so its now a 2up and the receiver works perfectly!
I had the product installed on my 2018 330i Xdrive today. I had my dealer do it, since the website made no claim that it would work on an Xdrive, and some reviewers hinted at a “challenge” relating to a heat shield. Also, one reviewer sawed out a piece of his bumper! I wasn't going to do this, that's for sure.
Installation took the technician 2 hours (I thought I saw a claim of 30-45 minutes?), and there was indeed an issue relating to the heat shield that sits between the muffler and the back bumper. It was not possible to put the shield back as it was originally, because the hitch is in the way. I told him to fasten the shield to its screw holes on the bumper using cable ties so it won't flap and rattle. He and his manager were perfectly OK with this. My only complaint is that now from a distance (say 20 feet) you can see the bright aluminum heat shield hanging under my black car. Maybe I'll need to paint the shield black.
All in all, I'm happy to have a hitch!

According to Curt, the heat shield should be removed and not reinstalled. The hitch itself will serve as a heat shield.
Installation video was super helpful - laptop in the garage to follow along and pause, etc. I'm definitely a do-it-yourself guy with most automotive things, and while it's annoying to take the bumper off, there's nothing too crazy. I have to believe it's much easier to back the car onto ramps as I did. As for the hitch itself, I use it regularly for a bike rack but nothing else, and I have zero complaints. It's fairly hidden so not obnoxious.

Zero complaints after a year. It does exactly what I need it to!
Great fit. This is my fourth hitch form etrailer over the years. Installation took longer than expected but doable and rewarding. Just take your time. 2019 BMW M240i convertible
Ordered on Friday and received that same Saturday. YouTube installation video was easy to follow and 90min installation estimate was right on the dot. Customer service was great, Elijah H was in charge of my order and kept me updated on the shipping status up until delivery. Hitch fits perfectly under the bumper on my 2018 M240i and required no trimming. Heat shield needed 2 relief cuts and some slight bending that only took ~10 minutes and some tin snips. Good price, quality seems top notch.

S.G. what did you do for the heat shielding? Trim it or leave it off? Any issues if you left it off?
