We have a solution for you either way but the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR may or may not work with your particular step through bikes. There are different styles of step through bikes and depending on how low the step through is, the ratcheting arm on the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR may go down low enough to secure the bike or it may be a little short.
However, if the ratcheting arm does not go down low enough on your particular bike we do... view full answer...
The Thule Pulse roof cargo box part # TH615 will fit your 2022 BMW X5 once you get a roof rack installed and due to the profile of the box, the profile of your roof, and the lower height of the fin it would not interfere.
Since I can see that your 2022 BMW X5 has flush roof rails the roof rack I would recommend is the Thule Wingbar Edge part # TH56FE, # TH89SC, and # TH186007 which will give you a sleek OEM style roof rack that has crossbars that mount flush to the feet of the rack instead... view full answer...
No, it will not Bryan. The Redarc Tow-Pro Link item # RED57AR requires a USCAR port that comes with factory tow packages. The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit item # SH25VR, that fits your 2023 BMW X5, does not have this connector.
For a traditional dash type controller, I highly recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite item # RED44FR. This is a proportional brake controller that automatically adjusts your trailer's braking based on the deceleration of your BMW. The... view full answer...
Hi Danny!
The Draw-Tite 76288 and Curt # C85VV hitches for your 2022 BMW X5 are going to be pretty similar to each other. There are a few differences though, and I have those listed below:
Draw-Tite 76288
Towing Capacity: 7,200 lbs Tongue Weight Capacity: 720 lbs
Hitch Height: 12.5"
Weight: 38.9 lbs
Curt # C85VV
Towing Capacity: 7,000 lbs Tongue Weight Capacity: 700 lbs
Hitch Height: 13.5"
Weight: 35.3 lbs
Other than those, the big one is that Curt hitches are American made. That would... view full answer...
The LED taillights often have this hyperflashing issue. To solve it, you simply need to add a load resistor like # DI34ZR. You will need one resistor for each side and this kit comes with 2. This will draw more power from your system so you won't get that hyperflashing. I've attached a diagram on correctly installing these load resistors. view full answer...
Hey Reece, thanks for reaching out!
Yes, the Oris Hitches Detachable Hitch # TS86VR will still allow your 2021 BMW X7 liftgate sensors to pick up your foot movement. You'll just need to kick to the left or right of the receiver when it's installed.
What are you planning on using the hitch for? view full answer...
Hey Tom. You're not missing anything the Oris Trailer Hitch item # TS86VR is comparable in function and quality to the Stealth Hitches item # SH92TR that fits your 2021 BMW X5 xdrive40i.
Oris is a German company so their item # TS86VR is a high quality hitch. There's no corners being cut to make this a more affordable option. The cost savings over the Stealth Hitches item # SH92TR is due more to it being manufactured outside of the US and the lack of trailer wiring included.

Hello again, Corey!
We do have a wiring kit available for your 2026 BMW X5 with the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter w/ 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector and Install Kit # C56190KIT, but the Draw-Tite hitch 76908 does not have one that specifically has to go with it. Just keep in mind this is not a plug and play system, so it will need to be hardwired into your Beamer. It does not look like anyone has a plug and play option yet, but that may change in the future.

Hi Corey!
That is a very good question! The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2" # SH32TR for your 2026 BMW X5 does come with safety chain loops with the included towing kit. If you take a look at the picture I have included, I circled them in red.
You will need to install them when you are bolting on the "block" the receiver or ball mount locks into.

Hey Whit, thanks for reaching out. We do indeed have a hidden hitch for the 2022 BMW X3 M, although it is not the "hidden hitch" brand from Draw-Tite. What we have is the Stealth Hitch Class 4 Hitch # SH59VR. The hitch itself installs behind the bumper and it has a removable 2" receiver, so the hitch will be completely hidden when not in use.
Just keep in mind that if you need to tow a trailer, you will need to use the Towing Kit # SH58VR. The 2" receiver that comes with the stealth hitch... view full answer...
Hello Douglas, thanks for reaching out. The correct Stealth Hitch for the 2025 BMW X5 with the M Sport package is part # SH89VR. They for trailer towing you will also need the # SH52TR towing kit.
The wiring kit for the 2025 model should be a passive harness meaning no programing is needed, but you do have to run a wire to the vehicle battery to power the module. You do need to wire directly to the battery. Using an alternative power source is not recommended.

Hello Greg, thanks for reaching out. The Redarc Tow-Pro Link Bluetooth Brake Controller # RED57AR will work great on your 2026 BMW X5 X40i with the factory tow package. We list it for vehicles without the tow package since it comes with a universal harness, and there are custom harness option for your vehicle. The # RED57AR can be installed on vehicles with or without tow packages. view full answer...
Yes, when the electric signal is sent from the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 to the trailer's brakes, it should cause both sides to lock up. Since only one side is locking up, it could indicate that one brake assembly needs to be manually adjusted. I attached a video that shows how to do this process.
If that doesn't get it to respond then there is possibly an issue with the wiring going into the brake assembly which you can test using a circuit tester like # PTW2993.... view full answer...
Hey Neil! I checked with Stealth Hitches and their Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit item # SH25VR is exactly what you need for your 2020 BMW X5 40i S Drive.
The Stealth Hitch item # SH25VR is custom fit and bolts to your BMW with included hardware. This kit also includes all the wiring you need to add a 7-way connector to your vehicle.
I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get this hitch set up. view full answer...
Hey Rik! The main issue with the Driver Assistance Pro package is typically just the rear parking sensors picking up the hitch or anything installed in it. We really do not see the Curt Hitch # C85VV itself causing problems with the driver assist systems when installed properly.
Honestly, the Oris # TS86VR is probably the best option here since the receiver removes completely when not in use. This maintains the factory look and there is nothing there for the sensors to see unless you're... view full answer...
Hey Jonathan, thanks for reaching out!
For a hitch and wiring kit for your 2024 BMW X1 you'll need to go with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH55VR. This comes with the hitch receiver that's used for accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers, as well as the ball mount designed for towing with this hitch, and the wiring needed for the trailer.
What kind of trailer do you plan on towing with this? Just out of curiosity. view full answer...
Hey, Jeff.
Yes, if your trailer has electric brakes, you will also need a brake controller to be able to control them. For a traditional controller, I recommend the Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C67PQ. You will need to hardwire this in and also mount it on your dash.
If having a controller mounted on your dash isn’t something you want, then I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR. This controller uses a knob that can be mounted anywhere on your dash, making for a... view full answer...
I would be happy to Steve and congrats on the new car. To add a hitch to your 2026 Subaru Outback, I recommend our etrailer item # e25TR.
Our etrailer Hitch item # e25TR is a custom fit 2" hitch that will bolt to your Outback with included hardware. This hitch has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight so it'll work great for towing a small trailer or hauling an accessory like a bike rack or cargo carrier.
If you also need trailer wiring, I recommend the Curt... view full answer...
Hey Ryan, how long was it attached before it seemingly got stuck? Enough time for some corrosion to get in there or do you think it's a release mechanism that is acting up? Was it releasing like normal at one point or has it been an issue this whole time? view full answer...
I checked with Yakima and the Fullback 2 part # Y02634 is a confirmed fit and would not damage the spoiler. If you check out the picture I attached that shows this rack installed on an X3 like yours you'll see that the strap does not put a lot of downward force on the spoiler.
