Draw-Tite Tested Tough
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

I selected the Curt and happy I did as it fits behind the existing steel bumper inside the plastic bumper trim and uses the same existing eight bolts. Good and solid. The part that takes some patience and lots of time is trimming the plastic around the hitch to get the perfect fit and look. On the X3 I had to change the hitch pin to a more compact and inexpensive unit so that it would fit without cutting out a larger hole in the bumper. You are not trimming the bumper but rather a removeable panel that fits into the plastic bumper trim. There is a trick to getting the u-bolt into the holes one is asked the drill into the steel bumper. Thread some thin gauge wire around the threads to help fish the u-bolt. See the two photos. The instructions do not mention this and it is nearly impossible otherwise.

2004 BMW X3 Relatively easy installation. The instructions were easy to follow. You are essentially taking the bumper wrap around off, unbolting the hidden bumper, drilling 2 holes and then reinstalling . The hitch bolts behind the original bumper. A small cut needs to be made to the inside plastic facia to make room for the hitch. Most time is used taking off and putting on the bumper wrap - it's not hard but just requires patience. The team at Etrailer is simply awesome. Very responsive - real people answer your questions and respond quickly. If you need a hitch and are a little handy I recommend this one from etrailer. I tested it today and very happy with it.

Install went better than expected. Hitch looks great on my X3. I was most impressed with the buying experience from etrailer.com the hitch came in less than a week. They followed up on the day it was delivered too! So glad I purchased from them.

I have a 2004 BMW X3 3.0i. I wanted the hitch to haul bikes, it's not for towing. I bought the Draw-Tite hitch #75371 partially because it had no electrical plug bracket, why buy that if it won't be used. Also I liked how the frame of the hitch angled downward to the 2x2 receiver instead of being straight across which leads to offset leverage on the mounting bolts when you're stopping and starting. First, etrailer.com - great experience overall, freaky fast (free) shipping (I ordered the hitch on Sunday PM and it arrived Weds PM) and I could review the installation instructions online before buying! Second, Draw-Tite - excellent product, fit perfectly and is completely hidden except 2x2 receiver. Very little trimming on the bumper fascia for the 2004-5 X3's. The only thing I noted was that the little access door where the tow hook screws in now bulges out a little because the bumper substrate has moved back 1/4" due to the hitch being sandwiched between the bumper substrate and the mounting flanges on the car while the fascia keeps its original position. Very happy overall with buying experience and the Draw-Tite product.

Excellent product at the best price. I would suggest update of installation instructions which were outdated for my newer BMW. Crucial highlights on my instruction sheet were faded out, probably due to use of environmentally friendly ink, which fades with time. Installation took longer than expected due to necessary removal of the entire rear valance and bumper of the vehicle, plus additional drilling of two holes through the hard tempered steel bumper. If you have a BMW X model, you may want to consider hiring a garage to intall. etrailer was very supportive and responsive through the process. Grade A+ !

I ordered the product came very quickly no problems they followed up. Make sure it came, which I really appreciated, and would use again.
by: Gary L.09/08/2009
Good to know ahead of time...I haven't bought the hitch yet but the prices are outstanding. However, what I liked best is that they have the installation instructions for my specific vehicle online for me to download ahead of time.
I like to be prepared when I install something of this nature. So having the full instructions to read first made it an easy decision to use etrailer.com as the place where I will buy this hitch.

- The Best Trailer Hitch Recommendation that Doesnt Interfere with Spare Tire on 2008 BMW X3The spare tire on your 2008 BMW X3 will not be affected in any way with a trailer hitch installed so no worries there. Both the Curt trailer hitch # 13573 and Draw-Tite # 75371 have the same rating, 350 pounds tongue weight and 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight, and install in basically the exact same way. Given that the Curt hitch cost a little less it would be a good option. I have included a link to the installation instructions to the right. If you plan on doing any towing I recommend...
view full answer... - Recommendation For Hitch Bike Rack on 2008 BMW X3To recommend a hitch bike rack I would need to know how many bikes and the weight and types of bikes you want to transport. A bike rack you might want to start with would be the Thule Apex 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH9024XT. This is one of the newest models from Thule and can carry 2 bikes and has a maximum weight capacity of 70 lbs. It will install into either a 1-1/4 inch hitch and a 2 inch hitch. I am including a link to a video review of the # TH9024XT bike rack that will describe many...
view full answer... - Recommendation For Bike Rack Options To Carry 3 Bikes on 2010 BMW X3I do have a solution for your to carry 3 bikes on your 2010 BMW X3 without installing a trailer hitch. What you will need to do is install a roof rack on your X3 and use 3 roof mounted bike racks. The roof racks we have available for the 2010 X3 are only compatible with the X3 models that feature the raised side rails. The Thule Roof Rack, parts # TH712400 and # TH710401, would be a roof rack I recommend for your 2010 BMW X3, which feature 53 inch crossbars. For a roof mounted bike rack,...

The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Rack, part # HRF2 will fit an X3 for the years 2013 and 2014. It is not a fit per the manufacturer for a 2005 through 2011. Unfortunately we do not have a trunk-mount bike carrier that will fit the 2006 X3 except for the SeaSucker carriers. I've linked the selection confirmed to fit for you. I recommend installing a trailer hitch and then a hitch-mounted bike carrier for your vehicle....
view full answer... - Transporting Dirt Bike with Class III Trailer Hitch on 2006 BMW X3The Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75371 referenced in your question, which is confirmed to fit your 2006 BMW X3, features a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds. As long as you remain under this capacity with the combined weight of your carrier and dirt bike (which it sounds like you will), you will not have an issue transporting your bike. If you do not yet have a carrier, I recommend looking at the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033. This is a really nice carrier...

We have three 2 inch receiver hitches available for your vehicle. I would recommend part # 75371. I have included a link to the page with all the hitches for your vehicle.

I have provided a link to the installation instructions for this to give you a clearer idea of what this involves. The drilling steps are on page 2.
