Expert Answers about BMW 3 Series


  • Will Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack Fit Draw Tite Hitch part # 24945
  • The Draw Tite trailer hitch part # 24945 is perfectly compatible with the Thule Easy Fold XT part # TH903202 that you referenced since the rack is Class I hitch compatible. The pin hole dimension you are asking for is based on an intentional design of Class II hitch accessories. They are designed to not fit all the way into a lower weight rated Class I hitch which is why it seems like the pin hole isn't deep enough.

  • What is the Best Way to Tow a Motorcycle with a 2000 BMW 323ci
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11174, for the 2000 BMW 3 Series, has a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds and would not be able to hold the weight of a motorcycle rack and motorcycle. If using a hitch-mounted rack, the tongue weight would be the combined weight of the motorcycle and the rack. All of the available hitches for your vehicle are Class I, 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches with 200 pound tongue weight capacities and 2,000 pound gross trailer weight capacities. However, the tongue weight...

  • Fit of SportRack SR1008 Semi-Custom Roof Rack on Roof of 1995 BMW 318iS
  • According to SportRack, their # SR1008 is considered a fit for your 1995 BMW 318is, among several other vehicles. SportRack bills this as a 'semi-custom' fit, meaning it'll fit many different vehicles fairly well. The least expensive custom fit roof rack we offer is the Inno Square Bar roof rack, which consists of the following parts: # INB117 46 Inch Square Crossbars # INSUT Roof Rack Feet # INK127 Vehicle Specific Fit Clips Because it's a custom fit rack, the Inno option will fit much...

  • Which Bearing Buddy Is Compatible With 2013 Karavan Sea-Doo Trailer
  • The bearing size is needed to confirm the fit of the bearing buddy needed. There are some Karavan trailers that use sealed bearings that cannot use Bearing Buddy grease protectors, but those specific bearings don't need them because they are maintenance free and sealed to keep water out. If you pull a hub, you will find the bearings and if you have standard tapered bearings, the number of the bearing will be printed on the hub face when you clean the grease off that portion. If you...

  • Fit of Curt Class I Hitch C11367 on 2018 BMW 340i xDrive GT
  • According to Curt, their # C11367 Class I hitch is a fit for all models of the 2018 BMW 340i xDrive including the GT model. If you'll be doing some light duty towing, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 119250KIT, a ball mount like # C45521, a hitch pin like # PC2 and a trailer ball like # A-80 for a 1-7/8 or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Will The Yakima Replacement Cradles Y43KV Or 8880597 Fit A Allen Brand Bike Rack
  • The Replacement SuperCush Cradle # 8880597 and the Replacement ZipStrip with Anti-Sway Cradle # Y43KV are made specifically for the Yakima brand bike racks. They are both designed to fit on a 1-5/16" round tube. We do not carry the Allen brand bike racks here at etrailer so we cannot say with certainty that it will be a fit. If your Allen bike rack also uses a 1-5/16" diameter tube it should work just fine.

  • Will The Stealth Hitch Hidden Rack Receiver Fit my 2021 BMW 340i?
  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH34VR you were looking at is indeed confirmed to fit your 2021 BMW 340i sedan. I was able to confirm this with Stealth hitches. This receiver is designed for carrying a bike rack or cargo carrier and cannot be used with a ball mount for towing a trailer. If you will be planning on towing a trailer at some point you will need to pick up the Towing Kit # 391CONVA7. This comes with the tow bar portion designed for towing with this hitch, and also...

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for a 2012 BMW 328ix Wagon
  • We have had several customers come back and say they were able to install the Curt Hitch part # C11367 on their 2012 BMW 328ix Wagon so we can safely say it will fit. For trailer wiring you would then want the zero contact wiring harness part # 119250KIT which is a confirmed fit and doesn't' require any hardwiring. For a 1-7/8 inch ball mount you would want part # C45571 or for a 2 inch ball part # C45572.

  • Will Curt Hitch fit 2017 BMW 340 Sedan?
  • The Curt hitch # C11367 will fit your 2017 BMW if it is a 340i xDrive Sedan. It is a bolt-on installation with a 1-1/4" receiver.

  • Will the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera Interfere with a Valentine One Radar Detector
  • I have great news! Using a wired back up-camera like the Hopkins # HM50002 won't interfere with your Valentine One radar detector since the V1 plugs into your lighter socket or using the optional direct-wire power adapter. Keep in mind that any other wireless device that operates on 2.4 GHz (like a Bluetooth or in-car internet) can interfere with the reception quality of a wireless backup camera. I included a helpful video review on the Hopkins backup camera for you as well.

  • Recommended Bike Rack for 2006 BMW 330i Sedan When No Trailer Hitch Fit is Available
  • There is not a trailer hitch receiver at this time confirmed to fit your 2006 BMW 330i Sedan. For a confirmed fit trunk mounted rack, I recommend the Thule Archway XT 2-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH9009XT. This will protect your vehicle and comes with all the security features and the Road Dampening Hold Fast Cradles.

  • For a standard trailer hitch you can use the Draw-Tite # 24857 on your 2007 BMW 328i sedan. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver which will be effective for things like really small trailers, bike racks, and cargo carriers. 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...

  • Fitment of the Yakima Kayak Carrier # Y04083-04082 on OEM Crossbars on a 2013 BMW 328xi Sedan
  • While there is definitely a way to determine if the Yakima Kayak Carrier # Y04083-04082 fit onto your OEM roof rack on your 2013 BMW 328xi Sedan, we do not have the exact width and height specs for your particular crossbars. With that being said, the # Y04083-04082 is designed to fit crossbars that do not exceed 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall. As long as your crossbars are within these parameters, you can use the carrier. I recommend measuring your height and width of your bars to make sure. It...

  • Identifying Replacement Wheel Bearings for Unknown Hubs on Boat Trailer
  • The easiest way to identify the needed replacement bearing kit is to obtain the reference numbers off the existing bearings. Your best bet would be to clean the existing bearings and closely examine them for the reference numbers. Given the inside diameter you provided, the bearings could be a # LM67048, # 15123 or # 14125A, all of which have a 1.25 inch inside diameter. All three bearings are listed as outer bearings for certain hubs, none of the hubs we offer would use these as both...
