Expert Answers about BMW X1


  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2019 BMW X1
  • For your 2019 BMW X1, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13303. It will be a great class III hitch with high tongue and towing capacities. For wiring which will give you a 4-way connector and allow you to power your trailer's lights you need Wiring Harness # C59236. It is also strongly recommended you use Dielectric Grease for Electrical Connectors # 11755 to help prevent any type of corrosion in your connector, which will increase its durability and extend its lifespan. I...

  • Konig Snow Chains that Fit Tire Size 225/50R18 BMW X1
  • The Konig Tire Chains part # TH2004705235 are not a fit for your tire size of 225/50R18 so they would not work for you. The CG-9 Konig chains part # TH2004205104 that you mentioned are a fit and would work for your tire size. I am not sure where you saw that the # TH2004705235 fits but it definitely does not.

  • Compatibility of Curt Trailer Hitch and Additional Towing Accessories for 2016 BMW X1
  • I will go down the list of products that you mentioned in terms of their compatibility with each other. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13303 referenced in your question is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening. It is confirmed to fit your 2016 BMW X1 and will work very well. The Curt Euro Style Drawbar # C45572 that you also referenced is a Class II ball mount designed for 1-1/4 inch receivers. This will not be compatible with the 2 inch receiver on the above...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2018 BMW X1 Sport
  • I am happy to help you find a hitch for your BMW X1. I reached out to Curt and confirmed the # C13303 hitch will work on your X1 with the sport package. I attached an installation video for your reference. If you are wanting to tow with this vehicle you may need a few more things. I recommend the # C59236 wiring harness and a 2 inch ball mount and ball. We offer a variety of ball mounts depending on your towing needs so I included a link to our FAQ Ball Mount Guide for your convenience.

  • Does The Same Hitch Reciever Fit the 2012 and 2013 Model Year of the BMW X1?
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III that you are referring to, # 75761, is the same hitch for both the 2012 and 2013 models of the BMW X1. Any changes made by BMW between those two years did not change the fit of the trailer hitch receiver. To use this hitch receiver for towing purposes, I would recommend using an adjustable ball mount like the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount, # C45900. This ball mount will allow you to tow your trailer level and gives you...

  • Will the Thule OutWay # TH65JV Fit a 2019 and 2020 BMW X1?
  • Yes! I am happy to say that the Thule OutWay # TH65JV will fit both a 2019 and 2020 BMW X1. The great thing about the OutWay is that it already comes with theft-deterring locks that protect your mounted bikes as well as the rack itself.

  • Will Thule Roof Rack Interfere with Panoramic Sunroof on 2018 BMW X1?
  • I spoke with a representative of Thule who told me that you would be able to install the Thule Aeroblade Edge # TH711120, # TH710601 and Fit Kit # TH186007 and it will not interfere with the operation of the sunroof on your 2018 BMW X1. They did caution that it is possible when using a cargo carrier or other accessory that clamps onto the rack you may not be able to fully operate the sunroof because the clamps could interfere. I do recommend protecting your investment with the Thule One-Key...

  • How to Convert Yakima HoldUp for 1-1/4 Inch Hitch Receivers to Fit 2 Inch Hitch Receivers
  • The Hitch Adapter # Y8890174 is for the Flipside, DoubleDown, and StickUp bike carriers. It's a direct replacement part for the adapter that was included with those racks. The HoldUp doesn't have a model that fits both a 1-1/4 inch and a 2 inch using an adapter. It has two different models, one for 2 inch hitches, # Y02443, and one for 1-1/4 inch hitches, # Y02445. To convert the HoldUp from a 1-1/4 inch to a 2 inch you can replace the spine using # 8890277. Or to convert it the other...

  • Trailer Hitch Compatible with 2017 BMW X1 Hands-Free Liftgate
  • For your 2017 BMW X1 the Curt hitch part # C13303 has been confirmed as a fit and would work well. The hands-free liftgate will still function on your vehicle but at worst you may have to aim your foot to either side of the hitch opening. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch...

  • Will the Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier Fit a 2014 BMW X1
  • The Thule DockGlide kayak carrier # TH896 does indeed fit the 2014 BMW X1 with factory roof rack that includes crossbars that run side to side. If your X1 does not have a roof rack that includes crossbars then you will first need to add one to use the kayak carrier. Rhino-Rack has a great option that will work. It consists of Vortex bars # RRVA126B-2 and legs # RRSX033 that will clamp onto the factory side rails that run front to back.

  • Will Malone Hanger 3 Bike Trunk Mount Rack Fit 2019 BMW X1 with Spoiler
  • The Malone Hanger 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms part # MPG2139 will fit the 2019 BMW X1 with standard OEM roof spoiler. It will not fit if the BMW has an aftermarket spoiler that sticks out further. The Malone is the only option for a trunk mount rack on the BMW X1 at this time. I have attached a video of the rack on a Subaru Outback Wagon with a very similar spoiler to the BMW. As you can see the top straps do put a lot of stress of the spoiler. My recommendation to carry...

  • Will the Sportrack Vista XL Cargo Box fit My OEM Crossbars on My 2014 BMW X1?
  • In order to definitely confirm whether the Sportrack Vista XL # SR7018 fits on the OEM crossbars on your 2014 BMW X1, I recommend measuring the width and height of your crossbars. If the crossbars do not exceed 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall, you are good to go! Also, if you are curious about whether you can fully open the trunk with the Vista XL installed on your X1, I recommend measuring from the furthest forward front crossbar position on your roof to the line where the roof and hatch meet....

  • You are correct that the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV has been confirmed by Thule to fit a 2017 BMW X1. On occasion, manufacturers make changes to fit guides after their initial release, which was the case with this rack.

  • Correct Stealth Hitches Towing Kit for Lowered 2013 BMW X1
  • Unless lowering the vehicle by 1-1/2" blocks part of the hitch installation I see no issues using the hitch designed for your 2013 BMW X1. The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH23VR for your 2013 BMW X1 looks like the mounting brackets are more at a 90-degree angle whereas the Stealth Hitches Kit # SH73VR for a 2013 BMW M3 looks like the mounting brackets are at more of a 45-degreee-ish angle, and then you have the slightly more aggressive hitch ball connection...

  • Will Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Interfere with Hands-Free lift Gate on a 2017 BMW X1
  • While it is unlikely that etrailer trailer hitch # e93KR will interfere with the hands-free hatch sensors on your 2017 BMW X1 there is still the possibility that it will limit functionality of it. This means that the range the sensors can see can be reduced. 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 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Interfere with Foot Activated Liftgate on a 2016 BMW X1
  • For your 2016 BMW X1 the Curt hitch part # C13303 has been confirmed as a fit and would work well. The hands-free liftgate will still function on your vehicle but the worse case scenario is that you may have to aim your foot to either side of the hitch opening. 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 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount...

  • Compatibility of Kuat Sherpa 2.0 with 2014 BMW X1 with Invisihitch
  • The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack # SH12G is a great rack. It will fit 1-1/4, Class I and Class II trailer hitch receivers. There is also a model that fits 2 inch Class III receivers, # SH22B. It's designed to fit tire sizes from 20 to 29 inches so your 26, 29, and even 27.5, if you go there, will be just fine. Also, it will hold up to 3 inch wide tires. I can't speak directly to its fit on an Invisihitch or a 2014 BMW X1 but from looking at the vehicle the rack will be visible in the...

  • Recommended 2-Bike Platform Style Hitch Bike Carrier for 2016 BMW X1
  • Thule's hitch-mounted Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack # TH92BJ will fit into either 1-1/4-inch or 2-inch hitches. Your 2016 BMW X1 can be fitted with the 2-inch Class III type which will provide a substantial weight-carrying capacity, plenty for the weight of this rack and your two loaded bikes. The hitch I recommend for your X1 (if it does not already have one) is the less-costly option, etrailer # e93KR. It doesn't require the stabilizer strap like the Curt does for bike racks or cargo...
