• Will Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Fit a 2015 BMW M235Xi Coupe
• Yes, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH48VR will fit your 2015 BMW M235Xi Coupe. I confirmed this with my contact at Stealth Hitches. This comes with everything you need to tow a trailer as well as carry a bike rack/cargo carrier. If you're in the market for a bike rack (which is more common than a cargo carrier) I recommend checking out the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR because of it's unique U-Shaped frame that makes it easier to load and unload your bikes.

• Will the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11367 Fit my 2015 BMW 2 Series 228i Coupe
• Yes, the Curt Hitch Receiver # C11367 will fit your 2015 BMW 2 Series. If you are going to be using a bike rack, like the Thule Camber # TH9058, keep in mind that your max Tongue Weight is 200 lbs and that you will be limited to carrying only 2 bikes. If you will be using the hitch for anything but towing, Curt recommends using the Support Strap # 18050, otherwise your warranty from Curt will be voided. You might also be interested in the Rubber Hitch Cover # 22281 which inserts into your...

• 2015 BMW 228i Convertible Correct Stealth Hitches Hitch Receiver for Bike Rack
• For your 2015 BMW 228i Convertible you want to go with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH54VR. This only comes with the crossmember and the 2" accessory receiver so you won't be getting the ball mount or wiring with it. The Stealth Hitch will work great and look good with your Kuat bike rack!

• Install Video and Instructions for Curt Hitch for 2015 BMW 228i xDrive Coupe
• The Curt hitch you mentioned part # C11367 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 BMW 228I X Drive coupe. I attached an install video for this hitch on a 3 Series that will be very similar to your 2 Series as well as a link to the detailed install instructions for this hitch as well. I really like the Thule Helium 2 Bike Platform Rack part # TH44VR for a bike rack. This is a platform bike rack that only touches the bike at the tires and comes with an integrated hitch and cable lock for optimal...

• Availability of Cargo Carrier and Bike Rack Hitch Rack
• Thule does not offer a way to add cargo carriers to their bike racks but Yakima has the Yakima EXO Swing Away 2 Bike Rack w/ Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches # Y34ZR which will give you a bike rack and an enclosed cargo carrier mounted on a pivoting hitch adapter to allow rear cargo area access.

• Which Thule OutWay Trunk Rack Fits 2016 BMW 2 Series
• I checked with Thule and while they have the 2-bike hanging style trunk rack as a fit for your 2016 BMW 2-Series they do not list the platform style. The platform version is pretty heavy and the older versions occasionally dented vehicles so they are very cautious about listing it as a fit for your vehicles. I'd rather recommend you go with the hanging style OutWay instead that is part # TH45JV which we know fits well and is really the best option available for a trunk rack for your vehicle....

• Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2018 BMW M240i X-Drive Convertible
• Yes, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH54VR will fit your 2018 BMW M240i X-Drive convertible. We do also have this as the Receiver Kit # SH48VR which includes the Towing Kit # 391CONVA7. This additional kit is needed if you will need to tow with your BMW. The receiver you found is only to be used with hitch mounted accessories and should never be used with a ball mount for towing. The Carrying Case # 391CASEC is recommended to store the ball mount or receiver when not in use....

• Recommended Bike Rack for a 2020 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe
• There actually aren't any options for the Gran Coupe models, unfortunately. I do still have an option for you to carry your bikes. Check out the SeaSucker Mini Bomber Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # 298-BM2006. This bike rack uses vacuum cups to stick to the roof of your Gran Coupe and will give you the ability to carry up to 2 bikes that weigh 45 lbs each. If you didn't like that option then you could also use a trunk mounted rack like the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634. This is going...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Estimated Installation Time for 2015 BMW 228i Coupe
• The Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11367 referenced in your question is indeed confirmed to fit your 2015 BMW 228i Coupe. This is a really nice, Class I hitch that will use existing holes in your vehicle's frame for a no-drill installation. It will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver that will work nicely for light duty towing or with hitch-mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. The installation for the hitch does require temporary removal of the bumper/fascia, along...

• Will Inno Wedge 660 Roof Box Fit Thule AeroBlade Crossbars
• The older Thule AeroBlade crossbars measure 3-1/8" wide x 1-1/8" tall and the Inno Wedge 660 # INBRM660WH is compatible with crossbars that are up to 3-1/2" wide x 1-3/8" tall so you'll have no issues fitting the Wedge to the AeroBlade crossbars. The only other thing that you'll want to check is the crossbar spread. The Wedge 660 is compatible with crossbar spreads from 24" - 39" so as long as your spread (center of bar to center of bar) is within that range you're good to go!

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 BMW 228i Sedan
• I have a trunk mounted bike rack that will fit your 2015 BMW 2 Series as long as it is a Sedan, but it is not the Thule part # TH910XT. The Saris Bones part # SA805BL has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and would be a great choice. Check out the review video I attached for more info on it. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter...

• Does Trailer Wiring have to Be Installed with Curt Trailer Hitch # C11367
• There are situations where if you are installing a trailer hitch you would not need wiring to go with it. So if you were installing the Curt hitch part # C11367 on your 2015 BMW 228i and only planned on carrying bike racks or cargo carriers there'd be no need for trailer wiring. But if your plan was to tow a trailer you'd need the wiring part # 119250KIT that you mentioned.

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 BMW 228i Coupe
• For your 2014 BMW 228i coupe the Saris Bones part # SA805BL is going to be your best option. This rack has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and will hole the bikes away from the rear of your vehicle. It also has anti-sway cradles that will prevent the bikes from rocking back and forth and potentially contact your vehicle. 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...

• Parts Needed To Tow a Trailer with a 2022 BMW X2 m35i
• I do recommend checking the owner's manual for said vehicle to ensure it can tow but so long as this is allowed we do offer a trailer hitch option for the 2022 BMW X2 m35i, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11530 which offers a custom bolt-on fit. This is then designed to be used with the Curt Class II Drawbar part # C45521, Curt Hitch Pin and Clip for 1-1/4" Hitches part # F-4, and Curt 2" Hitch Ball part # C40018. The last thing you'll need to complete your setup is a wiring harness,...

• Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit 2016 BMW 228i Convertible
• I checked with Curt and according to them the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11367 will fit all models of the 2016 BMW 228i or 228i xDrive which does include convertibles so this hitch will fit! If you plan on doing some light towing you will also need Wiring Harness # 119250KIT, Drawbar # C45521, Pin and Clip # F-4, and 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # A-80 or 2" Hitch Ball # A-82. If you instead need it for an accessory like a bike rack or cargo carrier I have added links to our selection of racks...

• Bike Rack Compatibility with 2017 BMW 220i
• The Thule OutWay # TH56BV is not a confirmed fit on your 2017 BMW 220i. For your vehicle, the inside of your tailgate does require a different fit. I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634 or 3 Bike # Y02633. When you look at the attached instructions the upper hooks must be changed and installed in anchor mode on your vehicle. This allows the inside of the hatch to carry the weight and not the outside trim. If you already have the OutWay...

• Curt Hitch Replacing Heat Shield on a 2018 BMW 230i
• The heat shield function is to protect your rear trim pieces from the heat of the muffler and exhaust pipes. The heat shield must be removed so the Curt hitch receiver item # C11367 can be installed. Once the hitch receiver is installed it acts as a heat shield and protects your trim pieces from the heat of the muffler and exhaust pipes. The Curt hitch receiver is constructed of steel and then powder coated. The Curt hitch receiver will act just fine as a replacement heat shield. For...
