  • Hitch for 2018 BMW X4 to Allow Use of Hitch Bike Rack
  • Curt does offer a hitch for your 2018 BMW X4, their 2-inch Class III model # C13316. This installs using included hardware as outlined in the linked instructions. This USA-made hitch is designed to have a very clean and unobtrusive appearance on the X4. This is accomplished by it having a concealed cross tube and by it using the X4's bumper mounts as the installation point rather than the frame. Frame-mounted hitches tend to be more visible. But the discrete look of the Curt # C13316...

  • Will Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver Fit a 2025 BMW X4?
  • Thanks for reaching out, Sam! Although Stealth Hitches hasn't confirmed the Hidden Rack Receiver # SH99VR to fit your 2024 BMW X4 as of yet, both Draw-Tite and Curt brand hitches are confirmed to fit and they both fit the 2024 model year as well, so I think it's just a matter of Stealth Hitches getting their hands on a 2025 model. I say go for it! What do you plan on using this hitch for? I imagine you want to removeable receiver to retain an OEM look when you aren't using the receiver?

  • Which Hitch do I Need for My 2020 BMW X4M, Will the One for the X4 Work?
  • Hello Jacob, Welcome to etrailer! I'm glad you found us. I did some additional checking, and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99RV you were looking at is designed to fit the 2020 BMW X4 models, but it will not fit the X4M. For your 2020 BMW X4M, you need the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH47ZR instead. Stealth confirms this hitch is the correct fit for the X4M. One of the things I really like about it is that it's completely hidden when you're not using it. Once installed,...

  • Parts Needed for A 2017 BMW X4 To Tow A Trailer With Electric Brakes
  • Hi Hannah, If you're not wanting to run a wire from the brake controller to the 7-way for the brake controller you can go with the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller # C51180 and 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L. The # ETBC7L will plug into your 4-way connector and will have a a wire to run up to the battery for 12v power.

  • What Would Cause Hitch to be Scratched Before Delivery
  • Hey Alken, sorry to hear that the Draw Tite hitch part # 76226 was scratched up. Sometimes they get scratched in shipping since they don't always get packed the best. You did the best thing you can do by spray painting it. If It does come off and starts to rust there are spray paints that are designed to be sprayed over rusty metal like the Rustoleum Rust Reformer you might try.

  • Is There A Stealth Hitch That Will Fit My 2020 BMW X4 M40i?
  • Hey Mel, Yes! The Stealth Hitch # SH99VR is a confirmed fit for your 2020 BMW X4 M40i model specifically. This is a no drill installation that requires some minor trimming of the gravel shield under the vehicle. The hitch offers a 600lb tongue weight but I will point out it is not meant for towing. If you are wanting to tow with that hitch you will need to get the towing kit # 391CONVD5 that will get you set up to tow. What are you hoping to use this hitch for?

  • Will The Rhino-Rack Nautic 581 Kayak Carrier Fit Thule Wingbar EVO Crossbars?
  • The Rhino-Rack Nautic 581 Rear Loading Kayak Carrier # RR581 can fit onto any crossbar that has the top channel. It should have no issue fitting onto the Thule Wingbar EVO crossbar channel. Make sure the knob on the kayak carrier is loose enough to slide into the channel track. I have attached a demonstration video to help with this process. If you are still having issues installing it then feel free to send me some photos and more information so I can figure out what else might be going on.

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 2024 BMW X4
  • No, I am sorry Anthony it does not. I checked with Thule and their OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes item # TH45JV does not fit your 2024 BMW X4. Additionally, I checked with our other vendors and no one has a trunk mount option for your BMW. The only solution I have is to offer a roof rack, which we have quite a few options, and a roof mounted bike rack like the Yakima HighSpeed Roof Bike Rack item # Y02115. If you're interested in going this route I would just need to know if your X4...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Installation on 2016 BMW X4
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13316 has a crossbar that may appear to be a replacement but the bumper beam assembly needs to be reinstalled. I'm not quite sure what reinforcement you are referring to but the hitch doesn't come with anything other than the hitch and some replacement rivets. The other components may need to be trimmed but should be reinstalled. I've attached the installation instructions that includes photos to assist.
