Hello Jose, I would be happy to help!

For your 2015 BMW 328i there a couple options to choose from. The correct option is going to depend on what you are needing to accomplish.

For a trailer hitch that has the most towing capacity and tongue weight, you can use the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH33VR. This kit is going to have everything you need to tow or use a hitch mounted accessory, including the wiring for the tail lights. It has a max towing weight of 3,500 lbs. and tongue weight of 350 lbs. The other nice feature of this option is that it has a 2" receiver, which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories.

A more economical option is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11367. This hitch has a max towing weight of 2,000 lbs. and tongue weight of 200 lbs. You would then also use the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT for the tail light wiring. This hitch also only has a 1-1/4" hitch receiver. If you needed to do some towing, you would need to use a ball mount like the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 1-1/4" Hitches # C45147.
