Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13316 is a great option for a 2014 BMW X3. The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # SH27VR is another great option as well. The main difference between the two comes down to appearance. The Curt hitch has a fixed receiver so this will always be visible below the bumper whereas the Stealth has a hidden receiver which can be removed while not in use. There's an obvious price difference between the two, most of which is contributed to the hidden latching mechanism on the latter. In regards to overall quality, I give the edge to Stealth but again, they are both great options that will work well for you. It simply comes down to your budget and preferred features.
