Question:

Will this hitch receiver be good for 2021 BMW X3 xDrive30i? I only need the receiver so that I can put in a bike rack for 3-4 bikes.

Hello Farhana! Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99RV is a great option for your 2021 BMW X3 xDrive30i. This has a 2" receiver so it will be compatible with most bike racks, and a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs which is more than enough. The concealed cross tube gives it a nice clean look and great ground clearance. It features a bolt-on installation and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

What kind of bike rack and bikes are you carrying?

It takes away the ability to use your foot to close the back gate

@John you can probably still use the kick sensor if you place your foot on either side of the receiver. It is pretty rare for it to be completely blocked, but sometimes it happens since sensor placement isn't always exact from the factory.
