Specs:
Note: The included receiver attachment is only for hitch-mounted accessories and cannot be used for towing. To tow with this hitch, you must use the included ball mount attachment.
This Stealth Hitches trailer hitch includes everything you need to hook up your trailer for towing. The ball mount pops into the hitch's center block so you can attach your trailer's coupler to the hitch ball. The wiring harness lets you power your trailer's lights. And the safety chain loops let you attach your trailer's safety chains. A receiver attachment is included as well for those times you need to use a bike rack or cargo carrier instead of towing your trailer. This all-in-1 solution saves you the headache of scrambling for missing parts, so you can get on the road faster than ever.
Nothing can ruin the clean, stylish look of your vehicle like a giant piece of metal bolted beneath the bumper. Luckily, with the Stealth Hitches trailer hitch receiver, you never have to worry about messing up your vehicle's lines.
This hitch installs behind your bumper, keeping the cross tube concealed and leaving only the ball mount visible. Even better, the ball mount can be easily removed from the cross tube when it's not in use, so you won't see any trace of the hitch. This means that you can retain that clean, from-the-factory look for your ride, while still being able to tow your trailer on the next family road trip.
This hitch also comes with a removable 2" square receiver, which can be used to mount any variety of hitch accessories, like your bike rack or cargo carrier.
Both the ball mount attachment and receiver attachment can be installed and removed in seconds with no tools required. Simply pop the selected attachment's base up into the stainless steel block at the center of the hitch until it automatically latches in place.
Be sure to then press the lock on the side of the block to fully secure the attachment. When you're finished hauling, use the included key to unlock the latch. Then turn the handle on the block clockwise and remove the attachment. You can stow the attachments in a safe place like your vehicle's rear cargo area, or you can use a convenient carrying case (391CASEC - sold separately).
And when you're not using an attachment, the included hitch plug covers the center block's opening to protect the hitch's body from dirt and debris.
The included wiring splices into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area, on the driver's and passenger's side. Once you've made all of the necessary connections, insert the provided fuse into the in-line fuse holder.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A magnetic clip is included to attach the connector to your hitch.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

Tow your small trailer with this completely hidden trailer hitch. Remove the ball mount for a fully concealed look when you're not towing. Use the included receiver attachment to mount a bike rack or cargo carrier. Trailer wiring included.I just completed this install on my 2011 328i xDrive "Sports Wagon."
There are some "expert replies" under the Q&A that says it will fit, and some saying that it does not fit. When contacting StealthHitch themselves, even they told me that they didn't offer a product for the E91 chassis.
I can confirm that the rear crash structure between the sedans and the wagons are identical. The main differences are the rear bumper cover itself as well as its plastic support bracket that bolts into the chassis. I had to trim some plastic material from the bumper cover support, to allow the Stealth Hitch to sit flush against the rear of the vehicle. Once that gets bolted on, and the bumper cover is ready to be placed back onto the car, the lower under panel/gravel guard is slightly different than the sedans, thus requiring different dimensions cut vs what is shown in the installation instructions (not a big deal though, just cut enough so that you can freely insert and remove the proprietary accessories that Stealth Hitch utilizes.)
Only giving it 4/5 stars because I had to gamble to see if the hitch fits because no one seemed to want to confirm if the item fit the E91 chassis.
Install was straight forward, not for beginners but simple. Unnoticeable when not in use. Does a advertised.
Absolutely love it. The installation instructions were very clear and easy to follow. It's very easy and painless to remove and reinstall. Once the hitch is off, it's impossible to tell there's anything there.
Very high quality hitch, fit great with my BMW 335i
