Perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction. Drawbar sold separately.Thank you for your interest in my BMW Hitch installation. The hardest part was determining how to remove the plastic lower fascia on the car. As for the hitch itself, assembly was quite easy. In fact, if the hitch came with two way tape, the alignment and assembly would have been spot on. I recently purchased the trailer to transport my two bikes or lawn tractors.
The hitch receiver does rattle due to excessive clearance when towing the trailer empty, but does quiet down when weight is added to the trailer. My BMW is a 328 and has good power.
This kit came complete and it was a breeze to install. After watching the video online, I had mine installed in less than an hour. I could have done faster if the neighbor didn't come over to talk to me.
One suggestion is to add extension bar to the bottom bracket to reinforce it more, but only if you need more tongue strength. Great product.
It was fantastic, I was very happy when I found the DIY video that shows how easy it is to install myself. Thank you. I needed the hitch to pull a light trailer and small aluminum boat.
Very high quality steel and welding and hardware. Installed very easily just exactly as it was supposed to it fit like a glove. I’m extremely happy with it, and the price was fair.
Easy to install. Kinda skeptical about it mounting to the spare tire well but time will tell.
I purchased this hitch and had my mechanic install it on my E36 M3 (it's 1998 4-door.)
As noted in the instructions that come with the hitch, the mechanic did have to cut a little plastic out of the rear panel that's under the bumper in order to install it. The area that needed cuttring is underneath the car and not visible once the hitch is installed.
The hitch does not pose any ground clearance issues (which was my main concern as my M3 is already very low.) The hitch doesn't hang any lower than the stock muffler already does.
The hitch arrived in good condition with all necessary parts needed for installation. Just as a heads up, this kit doesn't come with a wiring kit for brake lights; in my case, this was perfectly fine since I'm using the hitch for a bike rack and don't intend to tow a trailer with brake lights.
The hitch arrived quickly; it was delivered much earlier than expected.
Overall, it's a great hitch. It looks good, is small, unobtrusive, and gets the job done. A+
Here are some pics
I'm impressed with the quality of the hitch and I will be installing it asap. But I wished you included the fasteners that I needed.
Powder coat finish is perfect.
We purchased the hitch for our 1997 BMW 3 series to transport our bicycles on a bike rack.. The hitch arrived complete with all parts and also all bolts and nuts needed. It installed without problems. The hitch clears the bumper and trim on the car.
I did need to remove a piece of trim on the bumper (easy) during installation and put it back when done.
I took a bunch of pictures and will send a second email with them attached.

Well I am happy to say that my trailer hitch has worked perfectly. It has allowed me to take my bike to the beach boardwalk after work on the back of my BMW 323ic convertible. It has really been a blessing to me and I want to thank the amazingly talented experts at etrailer for the amazing design and easy installation.
