I do have the written installation instructions of the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24857 which I have attached for you but unfortunately, we have not yet had the chance to install this hitch on a 2007 BMW 328i or 328xi. The installation process as you can see is fairly straightforward. You will not have to do any drilling but there may be trimming or removal of underbody panels required.

If you can tell me what you will be using this hitch for, I would be happy to provide some recommendations for you.
