Question:
What trailer hitch for 2018 bmw x3
asked by: Bobby
Expert Reply:
For your 2018 BMW X3, we have a couple different hitch options. We have the Draw-Tite # 76226 and the Curt # C13387. Both install in the same manner, so I have attached a couple photos to help you with the installed appearance. Either of these options will work well with a bike rack or other accessory.
If you will be using this hitch for light towing, I also recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT, and the etrailer.com 2-3/4" Rise or 4" Drop Ball Mount Kit # EBMK4. I've linked some videos to assist with product details if you are interested in towing with your X3. I've also attached an article to assist with level towing.

I would like a trunk rack for My 2007 BMW X3. I had thought that the saris ex might work but it’s not coming up as suitable. Can you advise? I don’t want to put a hitch in.
