Expert Answers about BMW X1
- Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2018 BMW X1
- 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...

- Since your plan is to carry a bike rack with the Stealth hitch for your 2020 BMW X1 you wouldn't need the version that includes the ball mount and wiring part # SH55VR and would instead want the part # SH77VR.
So for a bike rack that can pivot out and away from the rear of the vehicle with bikes loaded to give you complete rear cargo area access the Apex Swing part # TH9027XT would be a great option.
Then for a hitch cargo carrier the part # 63153 would be a great option as well.

- 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.
I really like the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F....

- Let's start with a trailer hitch and for your 2018 BMW X1 I recommend the Curt # C13303 because it will give you the most ground clearance and bumper clearance among the hitches that fit your '18 X1.
The bike rack I highly recommend is the the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 because it offers a superb combination of function and style. The Sherpa 2.0 comes in your choice of colors: Black # SH22B, Pearl # SH22P, or Gray # SH22G.

view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and Using Curt Stabilizing Straps on 2018 BMW X1
- 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... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 BMW X1
- 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...

- We do have a very similar platform tray that fits the 2023 BMW X1 with the Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform part # RR47AB which would be your best option but Thule at this time does not have a Caprock setup they have confirmed is a fit for the roof of your vehicle. Thule doesn't list a reason why the CapRock won't fit but they are very thorough with their fits so I would assume they know for sure it's accurate.
