On Both the Curt trailer hitch # C13140 and Draw-Tite hitch # 75761 the faces of the receivers are just about flush with the rear of the vehicle. Take a look at the installation videos I have linked so you can see how each hitch looks on a 2015 BMW X1.
Please note that the trailer hitches only fit models of the 2015 BMW X1 that have the panoramic sunroof.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or... view full answer...
Yes, the Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH83JV that you reference will work great in the Curt hitch part # C13140 that you have installed on your 2015 BMW X1. The rack would have plenty of clearance to fit and well and is overall one of the nicest bike racks you can get so I know you'll be super happy with it!
I attached a review video link for the rack to this page for you to check out as well. view full answer...
I have trailer wiring that is a confirmed fit for your 2014 BMW X1, but the # 118717 is not a fit so I can't recommend it for you.
The universal wiring kit part # 119250KIT is a confirmed fit and would be a great option. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. view full answer...
For a totally hidden trailer hitch for your 2021 BMW X1 that comes with the ball mount accessory and the 4-way wiring you'd need we do have the Stealth hitch part # SH55VR which does require some heat shield modification. This would not interfere with the hands free liftgate at all.
The price is pretty steep compared to the mostly hidden etrailer part # e93KR which does require trimming of heat shield and of the fascia. For trailer wiring you'd then need the # C59236 and for a ball mount... view full answer...
You're on the right track. The Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top # HRF2 is a confirmed fit on your 2018 BMW X1 and the high-rise frame and strap mounting options enable the rack to fit hatchbacks, minivans, and SUVs with spoilers- just like your X1. Simply put, this rack is a great solution for your vehicle.
The Over-The-Top has durable anti-sway cradles with soft rubber straps secure bikes to rack to help prevent bike-to-bike and bike-to-car contact. This rack has adjustable arms so that you... view full answer...
I do recommend installing the etrailer trailer hitch # e93KR over the Curt # C13303 whether you plan on using your 2018 BMW X1 or even if you decide to tow a small trailer down the road.
Since the etrailer trailer hitch doesn't require the use of the stabilizer strap # 18050 for non-trailer loads (like the Curt does) it will mean that you have one less step to take when you are loading your bikes.
If you plan to tow, you would need the wireing Tekonsha # 119250KIT and the bracket # 18144.... view full answer...
I have a great flush crossbar system for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Thule that they discontinued the Fit Kit 4023 which is required to mount the AeroBlades TH7602B-TH7603B to your 2018 BMW X1. Without that fit kit, there is no way to attach the AeroBlades to your flush rails. We also do not have any other Thule systems that do not extend past the feet that fit your flush rails.
With that being said, the only other option for a crossbar system for your X1 that does not extend... view full answer...
We do ship to APO addresses Internationally. For your 2020 BMW X1, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # SH77VR is an excellent option. It will work well for your bike rack. If you will be towing at anytime, the receiver is not rated for that use, so you wound need to add the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - 2" Ball # 391CONVC5. If you want the complete kit use # SH55VR.

If you want one bike rack to fit both vehicles (2015 Nissan Rogue and 2017 BMW X1) without hitches then your only option is the SeaSucker Mini Bomber Roof 2 Bike Rack # 298-BM2006. This attaches to the roof and allows for 2 bikes to be installed via the forks. This also comes in a 3-bike version # 298-BB3008.
Your best option is to install a trailer hitch receiver on each vehicle and then find a bike rack that you can swap between each vehicle. For the BMW go with the etrailer Trailer... view full answer...
Best option for a trailer hitch for your 2014 BMW X1 is the Draw Tite hitch part # 75761 which is a confirmed fit and has the best capacities. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The Curt Class III Receiver Hitch # C13303 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2018 BMW X1. As you also mentioned, you will still need to use your stabilizing straps # 18050 when transporting your bikes per the warranty on the hitch.
There is no single, correct way to use the stabilizing straps on a bike rack. Since you will have trouble attaching the straps to the top of the hatch on your new BMW, another option is to lower the attachment point of the strap on the bike... view full answer...
The trailer hitch I highly recommend for your 2018 BMW X1 is the Curt # C13303 because it will give you the best bumper clearance for use with a bike rack and is almost entirely hidden behind your bumper, as you can see by the accompanying photo.
This Class III 2 inch hitch has a black powder coat finish which helps protect it from corrosion, is made in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty. I have added a link to a video of this hitch being installed on a BMW X1 for you to check... view full answer...
We have two curt wiring harness part numbers that have 56146 in them. Part number # C56496 and part # 56146KIT that also includes the wiring and fuse holder for routing the power wire of the kit up to the vehicle battery. Both of these converters have the SMT (surface mount technology) circuit board that makes them very reliable as opposed to the older style of circuit board that other harnesses may have.
Since your 2014 BMW X1 requires the wire get run all the way up to the battery you... view full answer...
I have included a picture that shows what Curt hitch # C13140 looks like when installed on a BMW X1. The picture is from the instructions which I have also linked for you. As you can see the receiver opening is the only part visible beneath the rear fascia.
At this time none of the other manufacturers we carry have plans for a hitch for the 2013 X1. That could potentially change in the future.
The 2 inch receiver on the Curt hitch will provide you with many more bike rack options than... view full answer...
For your 2017 BMW X1 the best hitch for carrying a bike rack is the etrailer part # e93KR as it does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack like the Curt hitch does.
For your 2017 Mazda MX-5 we only have a Curt hitch like the part # C11435 which will require you to use the stabilizer strap part # 18050 when carrying a bike rack. Based on this I'd recommend you go with the hitch for the BMW.

The best 3-bike truck rack that fits your 2017 BMW X1 is the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer.
The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around. The cables can also be locked into position to deter theft... view full answer...
I searched and searched and was finally able to find out that BMW does not provide a tow rating for the 2015 X1. Though in the owner's manual it does state that the vehicle can be used to tow.
Usually on smaller SUVs and cross over vehicles the towing capacity is not very high, 1,500 pounds, which I would say is safe for this vehicle. To get a more definitive answer I recommend contacting a BMW dealership.
For a trailer hitch you can use Curt hitch # C13140. All of the trailer hitches... view full answer...
I do have an option for you to carry bikes on your 2014 BMW X1 but they do not offer a trailer hitch for models with the panoramic sunroof. I cannot recommend that you modify one to work for you either. Therefore, your best option is to just use a trunk mounted bike rack for which I recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack # TH45JV This is highly popular and easy to install. It has many great features. Check out the video that I have included for you to see if you might be interested. view full answer...
For your 2018 BMW X1, I recommend using the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top Bike Rack part # HRF2 for two bikes or part # HRF2-3 for three bikes. The reason that I recommend you use this bike rack is because it's design allows for the least amount of contact with the vehicle. If you take a look at the attached photo you will see how the dual upper arms can be adjusted to avoid all contact with the rear spoiler on your X1.
There are other options available like the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack... view full answer...
I'm not quite sure which bike rack you are referring to, however, I recommend going with the Malone Hanger 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # MPG2139 which is confirmed to fit your 2021 BMW X1. This is a trunk-mounted bike rack that has straps going over the rear spoiler. While I do not see any negative reviews stating that this bike rack has damaged a spoiler, keep in mind that this will still put some added stress/tension on the spoiler.
