Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2014 BMW 328i
Question:
Hi. I have a BMW 328i sedan and am looking for a way if possible to two my boat, which is about 2500 lbs. Is this possible? Please advise. Thanks,

Whether or not this is possible or not is going to depend on what the towing capacity of your 2014 BMW 328i is listed at in the owner's manual. From some quick research, it looks like the towing capacity is 1000-lbs, so you're definitely not going to be able to tow a boat and trailer weighing over 2500-lbs safely.
If your vehicle's owner's manual shows that you've got a higher towing capacity than the weight of the boat and trailer, then the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit 2" # SH33VR is a great choice. This hitch installs completely behind the bumper to give you a bit of extra ground clearance compared to other hitches, plus it will be concealed when not in use and you won't have to worry about banging your shins against the receiver if you need to get something out of the trunk. I also really like these Stealth hitches because they come with everything you need to tow trailer, like a ball mount and hitch ball, plus the wiring.
I have linked a review and installation video we did on this hitch that you might want to have a look at, as well.
