For your 2011 BMW 328ix the Curt Hitch part # C11033 that you referenced is a confirmed fit.
For a ball mount you would want the part # C45521, 2 inch ball # A-82, or 1-7/8 inch ball # A-80.
For trailer wiring you would want the part # C59496.
Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
