Helpful Expert Reply:

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11174 for your BMW 3 series will allow you to tow a trailer with a riding lawn mower as long as it is within the 2000 lb towing rating and 200 lb tongue weight. For this hitch, I recommend the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45510 along with a 2 inch hitch ball like # C40018. For your trailer wiring, I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT which is confirmed to fit your vehicle.

If you are using a small utility trailer like the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer - 7-1/2' Long - 1,640 lbs # K2MMT5X7 you won't have any problem transporting the riding lawn mower.
