Note: This rack receiver is for hitch-mounted accessories only. The receiver tube included with this hitch cannot be used for towing.
If you would like to upgrade this rack receiver for towing, you will need to purchase the Stealth Hitches towing kit (391CONVA7 - sold separately). The ball mount included in this kit inserts into the center block of the hitch in place of the receiver attachment. A 2" hitch ball is included with the ball mount, making it ready to tow with out of the box.

- Not rated for weight distribution systems
If you want to take your bikes to the trail with your family this summer, you have plenty of options. You can carry your bikes on top of your car with a roof rack, but that bulky rack can increase drag on your ride. You can use a trunk rack, but that's a pain to mount and it can scratch your car's paint. Or you can install a hitch on your ride and use a hitch-mounted bike rack to carry your bikes.
This rack receiver is designed to act as a mounting point for your hitch bike rack or cargo carrier. Just slide the shank of your carrier into the receiver for use, and when you're done you can not only remove the carrier, but the receiver as well, leaving your vehicle looking clean and unmodified.
Completely Hidden Design
Nothing can ruin the clean, stylish look of your vehicle like a giant piece of metal bolted beneath its bumper. Luckily, with the Stealth Hitches rack receiver, you never have to worry about messing up your vehicle's lines.
This hitch installs behind your bumper, keeping the cross tube concealed and leaving only the hitch receiver visible. Even better, the receiver can be easily removed from the cross tube when it's not in use so that you won't see any trace of the hitch. This means that you can retain that clean, from-the-factory look for your ride, while still being able to carry your bikes and gear on the next family road trip.
Simple Set Up
The receiver can be attached or detached in seconds with no tools required. To insert the receiver, simply pop the base up into the stainless steel block at the center of the hitch until it automatically latches in place.
Be sure to then press the lock on the side of the block to fully secure the receiver. When you're finished carrying your bikes or cargo, use the included key to unlock the latch. Then turn the handle on the block clockwise and remove the receiver. You can stow the receiver in a safe place, like your vehicle's rear cargo area, or you can use a convenient carrying case (391CASER - sold separately).
And when you're not using the receiver attachment, the included hitch plug covers the center block's opening to protect the hitch's body from dirt and debris.

This completely hidden hitch keeps your vehicle looking like it just came off the assembly line. Remove the receiver for a fully concealed look when you're not carrying your bikes to the trail. Only for use with hitch-mounted racks and carriers.by: alejandro04/23/2021
Thank you for helping me out. I appreciate the customer service you and etrailer provided! It all ended up working perfectly.
by: Matthew 08/04/2022
Excellent product. Maintains that clean factory look to the car when not in use. Its a stout setup too. I carry some expensive bikes on my hitch rack and never question the integrity of this hitch. Not to mention the stellar customer care. I tell other euro car owners about this hitch all the time. I work at a bike shop and always recommend etrailer.com to my customers who ask for a bike rack and explain how much safer a hitch mounted rack is. Usually when I tell them the shipping is fast and they can find installation videos on the website along with an excellent customer care team, they're sold.
by: Steve 08/06/2022
I love this hitch. Installation was straight forward and the quality is very good. It takes less than 5 minutes to plug in the receiver, mount my bike tray and load 2 bicycles.

As skilled as I am ... it took 45 minutes to do ... love it
by: Evans C01/15/2022
Had it for a year, and it’s held up just fine. The only thing that’s failed is the rubber bungee that holds the dust cover over the lock cylinder.
Great product

view full answer... - What Does the # SH44VR Look Like When Installed on a BMW Sport WagonWhile the installation of the Stealth Trailer Hitch, item # SH44VR on the 2009 BMW 3 Series Sport Wagon is quite involved, it does not require any fascia trimming. For installation, it requires temporary removal of bumper/fascia and permanent removal of the impact structure. The hitch then replaces the impact structure for support and safety. Once installed, the hitch is completely invisible when not in use. The # SH44VR is not meant for towing. If you want to tow a light trailer, you...

The Stealth Hitch features a detachable receiver tube that is removable. Once the receiver is removed, the hitch is completely invisible unless you're on the ground looking up at it. This is a custom hitch, specifically designed for the vehicle. This hitch would work perfectly for a bike rack.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit For 2008 BMW 328xi CoupeThere is a trailer hitch receiver fit for your 2008 BMW 328xi coupe, though a hitch that is a fit for a sedan only will not also go on the coupe. Instead, what you will need is a hitch from Stealth Hitches, and there are two options, one that is for accessories like a bike rack only, and one that can be used with both accessories and for towing: - Accessories (Bike Rack/Cargo Carrier) Only: Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH44VR - Accessories AND Towing: Stealth Hitches Hidden...
view full answer... - Availability of a Trailer Hitch for the 2007 BMW 328iFor the 2007 BMW 328i Wagon then the only hitches available are the Stealth Trailer Hitch Receivers # SH44VR or the # SH88VR. These hitches also work for the 2007 BMW 328i Wagon, the 335i Coupe, and the 335i Sedan.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Fit for 2011 BMW 328xi SedanThe # C11033 Curt Class I hitch is compatible with single-exhaust equipped vehicles only and isn't intended for vehicles equipped with a Diesel engine. For a completely hidden option, I'd recommend the Stealth Hitch # SH44VR which is only compatible with hitch mounted accessories or # SH88VR which includes the ball mount for towing. There are no fit exclusions for the Stealth Hitch.
view full answer... - Does Curt Hitch # C11756 fit 2007 BMW 328i WagonThe Curt hitch part # C11756 that you referenced does not fit your 2007 BMW 328i wagon model. We do have two Stealth Hitches that will work for you. You can choose the # SH88VR if you intend to tow and the # SH44VR if you only intend to use it to carry a bike rack or a cargo carrier.

view full answer... - Which Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Fits 2011 BMW 328i Convertible Since your 2011 BMW 328i is a convertible you'll need to go with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch # SH94VR and not the # SH44VR you looked at. The Convertible has a different frame due to not having a solid roof so the hitches are different between the convertible and coupe. The # SH94VR includes the removeable 2" receiver to allow you to carry your cargo carrier for luggage, but if you don't already have a carrier I'd go with the # C18110 due to it having a raised shank to give...

If you'd like something a little more beefy that also looks sleek we have the Stealth Hitches system which comes as part # SH44VR for recreational products (like bike racks and cargo carriers) and part # SH88VR which comes with the part for recreational products...

This comes with other components you may not need like wiring and a ball mount so you might be more interested in the version of the hitch that doesn't have those components # SH44VR.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Kit For a 2008 BMW 328i Sports WagonThe Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH88VR will give you everything you need to tow with 2008 BMW 328i sports wagon. If you are only using it for a hitch mounted accessory like a cargo carrier we do have the Receiver # SH44VR separately. You could then add the Towing Kit # 391CONVA7 at a later date should you need to tow something later down the road. I recommend getting the Carrying Case # 391CASEC to protect the receiver and ball mount when not in use.

This also fits 1-1/4 inch hitches too if you wanted to go that route too with the # C11033. Now we don't have a way to swivel this out though or a similar type of rack that has a pivot built in.
