Expert Answers about BMW X3


  • Parts Needed To Install a Trailer Mounted Trailer Brake Controller and 7-Way on a 2013 BMW X3
  • I have another recommendation for you as both the Tekonsha ZCI and Prodigy RF are on an extended backorder and we are not sure when we will start seeing them come in again. First you will want to start by installing the Curt 4-Way # C59236 on your 2013 BMW X3 xDrive28i. Then you will need the 7-Way Kit # ETBC7L for connecting your camper with electric brakes. This kit allows you to connect to the 4-way but also includes wiring for a charge line which will provide power for the braking system...

  • Hardware Needed to Mount Thule Frontier Cargo Box to Thule AeroBlade Roof Rack Crossbars
  • The Thule QM3 Hardware kit, part # TH04997 is the correct mounting hardware needed to attach your Frontier Cargo box to the discontinued Thule AeroBlade or the current WingBar Evo crossbars. Thule doesn't offer the component parts of the hardware kit individually, but from what it sounds like your cargo box is already complete. I'll link you to a product description video showing what's included in the # TH04997 hardware kit, so you can compare it with what you currently have so you can...

  • Questions About Towing a Skeeter SX 170 Bass Boat with a 2005 BMW X3 and Wiring
  • I agree, Draw-Tite is one of the most popular hitches on the market today. For your 2005 BMW X3 the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, item # 75371, would be a great choice for towing a Skeeter SX170 bass boat. To complete your towing package you will need wiring, a ball mount with pin and clip, and a properly sized hitch ball. I have provided links to the items recommended for your vehicle and some instructions that will help. For mounting the 4-Way connector at the rear of the vehicle...

  • Parts Needed to Add Crossbars to 2023 BMW X3
  • It sounds like you would like to add a roof rack to your 2023 BMW X3. In order to attach the crossbars to your rails you will also need feet and possibly a fit kit.

  • Parts Needed to Tow Aliner Trailer with 7 Way Connector on 2012 BMW X3
  • We've got all of the parts you're going to need, so don't worry! To start, you'll need to install a 4 way connector, since it provides the base of what you'll need for the 7 way which is used on your Aliner travel trailer. For that, I recommend the Tekonsha ZCI kit # 119250KIT because not only does Tekonsha have the most reliable powered adapters, but the ZCI system requires no cutting/splicing into the vehicle wiring and simply clamps onto the wires you need a signal from. Once you've...

  • How Many Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders are Needed for a Rack and SUP Taxi on a 2017 BMW X3
  • The Thule Roof Rack you are seeking has been discontinued for your vehicle. Instead I recommend the Thule rack which consists of parts # TH711120, # TH710601 and # TH186007 for your 2017 BMW X3 with flush mounted rails. You will need 4 lock cores like the part # TH450400 that you referenced to secure the rack to your vehicle. Since the Thule SUP Taxi XT # TH810001 uses 4 locks cores you actually only need 8 lock cores to get everything keyed alike. This can be found with part # TH450800. If...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch/Bike Rack Setup For A 2022 BMW X3
  • When it comes to installing a trailer hitch on your 2022 BMW X3 xDrive30i, I recommend The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2 inch # SH46FR. This trailer hitch has a simple, bolt-on installation with no drilling or welding required. It has a black powder coat finish that offers a superior rust protection. The hitch has a totally hidden design that offers a clean, from-the-factory look. The hitch will not affect the ground clearance or block the trunk's foot-access sensor....

The trailer wiring harness has a simple plug and play installation that plugs behind the driver and passenger side tail lights externally. The wire is constructed of 16-gauge bonded wire. I attached an installation video link below.

  • 2022 BMW X3 Roof Rack and Fishing Rod Carrier Options
  • The fishing rod carriers we have are universal mount options but to use them with your 2022 BMW X3 we need to get a roof rack on your vehicle and for that I recommend the Inno Aero Roof Rack System which uses the following: 54" Inno Aero Crossbars - # INXB138-2 Through Feet - # INXS450 Fit Kit - # INTR140 Now that you have a roof rack we can look at various options like the Rhino-Rack 4 Rod Carrier # RR572, the Yakima TopWater # Y04088, or the Thule Rod Vault # TH87YV for fly fishing...

  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring Harness Kit and Related Towing Components for 2016 BMW X3
  • We can help you with a hitch, wiring and the related items needed to tow a rental trailer with your 2016 BMW X3. I recommend the higher-capacity hitch option which comes from Draw-Tite, their hitch # 76226, since it offers a 750-lb tongue weight (TW) rating as compared to 350-lbs for the Curt # C13316. TW is downward force on the hitch from the trailer's weight; you should be able to find out from the rental company what the specific trailer's empty TW is to confirm it will be compatible....

  • What Kind of Trailer Wiring Harness Carries 12V Power for 2016 BMW X3
  • The type of wiring harness installed determines whether it will carry a 12V auxiliary power signal. The trailer wiring we offer for the 2016 BMW X3 is a 4-pole flat type setup like # 119250KIT that carries only lighting signals (stop/turn/tail). If on the other hand your dealership installed a 7-way type trailer socket, this is designed to carry all of the lighting signals carried on the 4-pole plus up to three additional circuits, usually used for reverse lights, trailer brakes and 12V...

  • Parts Needed for Brake Controller Installation on 2018 BMW X3
  • Since the # SH62VR comes with a 7-way the only thing you will need is the brake controller and the appropriate wiring harness. For the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR you were looking at you will need the # RED69FR. There are no custom fit wiring harnesses so you will have to splice it in for installation. I have attached some installation videos below for your reference.

  • Parts Needed To Install A 7-Way Blade Trailer Connector On a 2017 BMW X3
  • To install a 7-Way trailer connector on your 2017 BMW X3 you will need the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT and the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L to connect to your factory wiring. The Tekonsha Harness # 119250KIT uses sensors to detect when power is traveling through the wiring to the tail lights so that you do not have to splice the wiring on your X3. This will give you a 4-way flat connector. The 4-way flat connector will plug into the 7-way on the...

  • Brake Controller and 7-way Trailer Connector For 2008 BMW X3
  • The Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # TK94FR can be installed in almost any vehicle. It will work with your 2008 BMW X3. We have found that the # TK94FR Prodigy RF does sometimes have problems pairing with European cars. There are ways to make this work, but a hardwire connection is always the most reliable. I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. This brake controller will splice into your vehicle's existing wiring system and...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2019 BMW X3
  • We do have some trailer hitch and wiring options for your 2019 BMW X3. For a hitch I recommend using the Draw-Tite Class III # 76226 as it fits all models of your X3. Then for wiring you'll need the T-One # TK77FR which tees in behind your tail lights and gives you a 4-Way for basic lighting. To add the correct 4-Way and 7-Way connectors we will need to determine the purpose of having those sockets. We can mount the sockets to our receiver using the Easy Mount Bracket # C58000, but you...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for a 90 Pound Hobie Mirage Oasis Kayak and 2013 BMW X3

But check the X3 owners manual to determine the capacity of the roof and if lower go by the lower capacity. You can then use the Stacker, # TH830. It does not have a capacity because it will be holding up a kayak placed...
