The Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11367 referenced in your question is indeed confirmed to fit your 2015 BMW 228i Coupe. This is a really nice, Class I hitch that will use existing holes in your vehicle's frame for a no-drill installation. It will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver that will work nicely for light duty towing or with hitch-mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier.

The installation for the hitch does require temporary removal of the bumper/fascia, along with temporary removal of the heat shield. Curt estimates an installation time of around 45 minutes for a professional or 90 minutes for a novice installer. I have also attached the complete installation instructions that you can use to get an accurate quote from the shop.
