We have everything you need to set your 2015 BMW 328d xDrive Sport Wagon up for towing a small trailer.

Starting with the trailer hitch, I recommend going with the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11397. This hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and 2,000 pound towing weight capacity. I also recommend checking the capacity of your vehicle as listed in the owner's manual. You will need to stay under the lower of the two capacities. I have attached the installation details for you to check out.

Moving onto wiring, the only harness we have available that is confirmed to fit your vehicle is the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. It will allow you to install a 4-way trailer connector on the vehicle without cutting or splicing into the wiring. This is because it uses zero-contact interface sensors to identify the current flowing through each wire by simply clamping onto it. I have included the installation details on this kit that you can also look through.

To tow a trailer, you will also need a ball mount. I have attached an article that explains how to choose the correct ball mount in order to tow the trailer level, along with a link that will take you to our available selection. I have also included a couple of articles on trailer towing that you might find helpful.
