Fully welded BMW X3 trailer hitch is strong and durable. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.
Features:
Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

2007 BMW x3 Hidden Hitch
Pros: Easy to install, Great fit overall, Nice to be able to keep the original bumper in addition to the hitch. Excellent overall Aesthetics.
Cons: Could not trim the Plastic Hitch Bumper cover as easily as I would have liked for when the hitch is not in use. The hitch has a rather large wide flat piece of metal attached on the top of the hitch insert that sticks out which made it difficult to trim and impossible to to complete without cutting it into two pieces. (the two pieces are still very secure and not going anywhere). Overall it was not really a big deal for the appearance or strength of the cover like I was worried about but my only complaint. (All the other hitch makers including the genuine BMW hitch appear to have similar problems when it comes to trimming the the hitch cover so I dont think buying a different hitch would have mattered. Ultimately I think it was just a problem with the car engineering.
prompt delivery, very easy, no problems. don't get no better. thanks.
Great Dealorder and delivery was exellent! at a good price
The hitch I ordered more than met my expectation, the instruction were detained, enabling worry free installation
Good to know ahead of time...I haven't bought the hitch yet but the prices are outstanding. However, what I liked best is that they have the installation instructions for my specific vehicle online for me to download ahead of time.
I like to be prepared when I install something of this nature. So having the full instructions to read first made it an easy decision to use etrailer.com as the place where I will buy this hitch.
I have a 2004 BMW X3 3.0i. I wanted the hitch to haul bikes, it's not for towing. I bought the Draw-Tite hitch #75371 partially because it had no electrical plug bracket, why buy that if it won't be used. Also I liked how the frame of the hitch angled downward to the 2x2 receiver instead of being straight across which leads to offset leverage on the mounting bolts when you're stopping and starting. First, etrailer.com - great experience overall, freaky fast (free) shipping (I ordered the hitch on Sunday PM and it arrived Weds PM) and I could review the installation instructions online before buying! Second, Draw-Tite - excellent product, fit perfectly and is completely hidden except 2x2 receiver. Very little trimming on the bumper fascia for the 2004-5 X3's. The only thing I noted was that the little access door where the tow hook screws in now bulges out a little because the bumper substrate has moved back 1/4" due to the hitch being sandwiched between the bumper substrate and the mounting flanges on the car while the fascia keeps its original position. Very happy overall with buying experience and the Draw-Tite product.
I selected the Curt and happy I did as it fits behind the existing steel bumper inside the plastic bumper trim and uses the same existing eight bolts. Good and solid. The part that takes some patience and lots of time is trimming the plastic around the hitch to get the perfect fit and look. On the X3 I had to change the hitch pin to a more compact and inexpensive unit so that it would fit without cutting out a larger hole in the bumper. You are not trimming the bumper but rather a removeable panel that fits into the plastic bumper trim. There is a trick to getting the u-bolt into the holes one is asked the drill into the steel bumper. Thread some thin gauge wire around the threads to help fish the u-bolt. See the two photos. The instructions do not mention this and it is nearly impossible otherwise.
2004 BMW X3 Relatively easy installation. The instructions were easy to follow. You are essentially taking the bumper wrap around off, unbolting the hidden bumper, drilling 2 holes and then reinstalling . The hitch bolts behind the original bumper. A small cut needs to be made to the inside plastic facia to make room for the hitch. Most time is used taking off and putting on the bumper wrap - it's not hard but just requires patience. The team at Etrailer is simply awesome. Very responsive - real people answer your questions and respond quickly. If you need a hitch and are a little handy I recommend this one from etrailer. I tested it today and very happy with it.
Install went better than expected. Hitch looks great on my X3. I was most impressed with the buying experience from etrailer.com the hitch came in less than a week. They followed up on the day it was delivered too! So glad I purchased from them.
Excellent product at the best price. I would suggest update of installation instructions which were outdated for my newer BMW. Crucial highlights on my instruction sheet were faded out, probably due to use of environmentally friendly ink, which fades with time. Installation took longer than expected due to necessary removal of the entire rear valance and bumper of the vehicle, plus additional drilling of two holes through the hard tempered steel bumper. If you have a BMW X model, you may want to consider hiring a garage to intall. etrailer was very supportive and responsive through the process. Grade A+ !
