  • Replacement Black Plastic Fenders for Sea Doo Trailer Made by Karavan

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way on 2018 BMW X5
  • While there isn't a direct 7-way kit custom fit for your 2018 BMW X5 we do have what you will need. The first thing you need to install is a 4-way which for that you would want the part # C56190KIT. You would then need to convert to a 7-way with the part # 37185 which plugs right into the 4-way. I attached an install video for the 4-way on a 2018 X5 just like yours for you to check out.

  • Availability of Ball Mount For 2 Receiver That Has 6 Of Rise
  • We have exactly what you are looking for. The Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45100 you were looking at is the only fixed ball mount with close to 6" of rise, as this ball mount has 6-1/4" rise which is virtually the same and will work perfectly for you. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 BMW X5 with Raised Roof Side Rails

  • What Tire Chains do I Need to Fit My 315/30-22 Tires on My 2021 BMW X5?
  • For your non-standard 2021 BMW X5 tire size of 315/30-22, BMW does not recommend using tire chains with these specific sizes. However, many car manufacturers make these kinds of recommendations in order to wash their hands of any liability if any damage occurs to components inside the wheel wells. With that being said, the absolute safest (and only) option we carry for your tire size is the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit XXL # TH2004565767....

  • Best Hitch for a Bike Rack on a 2022 BMW X3
  • The hitch that I recommend for a bike rack on your BMW X3 is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76226. This hitch will have a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide a 2" hitch receiver which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts. If you need a bike rack, I really like the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack # Y36FR which features an included ramp to make loading your bikes onto the rack easier.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 BMW 1 Series
  • For your 2012 BMW 1 Series that has factory fixed mounting points on the roof we have the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK328 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. The Rhino Rack roof racks are high quality racks that don't break the bank like some roof rack brands do so it's one of my favorite racks to recommend.

  • Does Yakima Fullback 2 Trunk Rack Fit 2019 BMW X5
  • Yes Yakima's fitguide would be the final authority on what their trunk racks will fit so the Fullback 2 part # Y02634 would fit and work great. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level...

  • Which Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2016 BMW X5 40e
  • For your 2016 BMW X5 40e I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75600 which has a 600lb maximum tongue weight rating, and 6000lb max trailer weight rating. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75600 allows for you to use non-trailer loads without needing a support strap where the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13077 requires the use of Curt Stablizing Strap # 18050. I attached the installation video of the Draw-tite Max-Frame # 75600 on a 2016 BMW X5 for you to take a look at. If...

This Class I hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver and a concealed cross tube.. It has maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs for your accessories and a bolt-on installation. If you need a 2" receiver, your only option is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH84VR. This hitch has a maximum tongue weight of 350 lbs and can be used for towing with the optional towing kit...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A Bike Rack On A 2022 BMW X3 M40i
  • To get the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # HR4000 on your 2022 BMW X3 M40i, I recommend going with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH46FR. When not is use, the receiver tube can actually be completely detached so it will be completely invisible when not in use, which is very nice. This does not mean it is a slouch when it comes to carrying capacity, however. This has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 600 pounds and will handle the Hollywood Racks # HR4000...

  • Tire Chains for 2011 BMW X3 With 245/50-18 Tires and What Tires Do They Go On
  • I checked out the online owner's manual for your 2011 BMW X3, and it says that tire chains should only be placed on the rear tires of your vehicle, so that's what you'll want to do. We do have a great option for chains, assuming you have the standard 245/50-18 tires (I do recommend checking just to be sure), and those are the Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern # TH01571245. The Konig are the best option for your BMW starting with how easy they are to put on, using very handy...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2005 BMW 325 Convertible
  • For your convertible 2005 BMW 325 CI Convertible the Saris Bones part # SA805BL has been confirmed as a fit and would work well for carrying your 2 bikes. This is hands-down the trunk rack for the money so I know you will like it. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached...

  • Recommended Way to Flat Tow a 1998 BMW Z3
  • I really wish we had a base plate kit available for your 1998 BMW Z3 but I checked with our manufacturers and there are none available. The only option I could recommend would be a tow dolly like part # RM-2050-1 as long as the owners manual of your vehicle says it can be towed with one. Using a tow dolly is slightly more expensive that flat towing but there is much less hassle since there's only one part to buy and virtually no install time. Whereas a flat towing setup can be pricey and...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For Cargo Trailer With 7000-Lb Gross Weight Capacity
  • When using weight distribution you want to find a system where the tongue weight of your fully loaded trailer tongue weight added to any cargo behind the rear axle of your towing vehicle falls close to the middle of the system tongue weight range. If you are around 500-lbs I recommend going with a system like the Reese Strait-Line, part # RP66083. The tongue weight range for this system is between 400 and 800 lbs. The system does not come with a hitch ball so for a 2-inch ball I recommend...

  • Which EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Fits My 2014 BMW X5?
  • I have a different EcoHitch option for your 2014 BMW X5, but the # 306-X7293 you were looking at is designed for a 2017 - 2020 Toyota 86, 2013 - 2016 Scion FR-S, and the 2013 - 2020 Subaru BRZ. For your 2014 BMW X5 you will need to go with the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch # 306-X7265 if your vehicle does NOT have a backup sensor, or the # EH44FR if your vehicle DOES have a backup sensor. Both of these hitches have a completely removeable receiver so when not in use the hitch will be...

  • Availability of Hitch for 2007 BMW 328Xi For Carrying Bike Rack
  • We do offer a receiver hitch for the 2007 BMW 328Xi coupe, the Stealth Hitch # SH44VR. The Stealth Hitch features a detachable receiver tube that is removable. Once the receiver is removed, the hitch is completely invisible unless you're on the ground looking up at it. This is a custom hitch, specifically designed for the vehicle. This hitch would work perfectly for a bike rack. If you don't yet have a bike rack, I'd be happy to make a recommendation if you could reply telling me how...
