  • Correct Trailer Hitch for a 2018 BMW 330i Sport Wagon
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11367 is listed as a confirmed fit for a 2018 BMW 330i Sport Wagon. In regards to the heat shield, this will need to be removed per the installation instructions. It may be able to be reinstalled with trimming but I would not be able to advise on this.

  • Will the Thule Trunk Mount Bike Rack # TH910XT fit 2013 BMW 328
  • Yes! The Thule Passage 2-Bike Carrier # TH910XT will fit both coupe and sedan versions of the 2013 BMW 328. When using the Passage, if you will be carrying either womens, childrens or alternative frame bikes, I recommend that you check out the Thule Adapter Bar # TH928XT which will assist in carrying such bikes level as well as provide additional ground clearance at the wheels. When using your Passage, make sure both your vehicle and rack are completely clean and free of grit. Just as...

  • Will OEM Roof Rack for 2013 BMW 328xi Work With Thule Kayak Carrier # TH834
  • The Thule Hull-A-Port J-Style Rooftop Kayak Carrier # TH834 will fit most factory crossbars. I researched the OEM roof rack offered for the BMW 328xi. Their F30/1 rack uses elliptical-shape aluminum crossbars and its specs indicate the vehicle roof weight load limit is 165 lbs. However, I found nothing to indicate that the BMW rack crossbars are compatible with Rola T-slot accessories. We do offer a range of rooftop watercraft carriers that can mount to many types of crossbars, both...

  • Will a 1up USA Aluminum Quik-Rack 1 Bike Rack Fit a Curt Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2002 BMW 330xi
  • I took a look at the 1up website and the bike rack in question. It does show it fits 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches but does not say if that includes Class I and II hitches or just Class II hitches. Also there were no measurements to determine if the rack would clear the rear of the vehicle. I looked for a phone number to call them but they did not have one listed. I am certain the rack will fit the hitch # C11174 but what I cannot figure out at this time is if it will clear the rear of the...

  • Will Thule SnowPack Extender Ski and Snowboard Carrier Fit 2014 BMW 335i With Factory Crossbars

This carrier can hold up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards, and has 4 One-Key system locks to help secure the cargo to the carrier and the carrier to the roof rack. You will want to check your owner's manual or with your dealership to make sure you do not exceed the roof weight capacity of your BMW.

  • Which Bearing Buddy Is Compatible With 2013 Karavan Sea-Doo Trailer
  • The bearing size is needed to confirm the fit of the bearing buddy needed. There are some Karavan trailers that use sealed bearings that cannot use Bearing Buddy grease protectors, but those specific bearings don't need them because they are maintenance free and sealed to keep water out. If you pull a hub, you will find the bearings and if you have standard tapered bearings, the number of the bearing will be printed on the hub face when you clean the grease off that portion. If you...

  • What Custom Fit Kit To Install Inno Squarebar Roof Rack System on a 2014 BMW 3 Series Sedan
  • The Inno Square Crossbars # INB117 you referenced in your question is just the crossbars for a 2014 BMW 3 Series Sedan. You will also need Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Track Systems and Fixed Mounting Points # INXP which is the feet which the crossbars install to, and Inno Custom Fit Kit # INTR131 which is the custom fit kit to install the feet to your vehicle. These parts are confirmed to fit your vehicle and will complete the roof rack system. I included a review video for the...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2011 BMW 335i X-Drive Towing a Trailer
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11756 is not confirmed by Curt to fit your 2011 BMW 335i. For this reason I recommend not attempting to install it on your BMW even with the reviews from others saying that it was able to fit their 2011 BMW. I recommend the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH88VR as this is confirmed to fit your BMW and it also includes everything that you will need to tow most small trailers. Best of all when you don't need it the hitch...

  • Does the Thule Passage 2 Bike Rack # TH910XT Fit 1988 BMW 325is
  • Yes, the Thule Passage 2 Bike Rack, part # TH910XT, will fit on your 1988 BMW 325is. I am including links to the instructions and a video review of the Thule bike rack. Another recommended trunk bike rack to look at would be the new Thule OutWay Bike Rack, part # TH45JV. This is one of our most popular selling trunk bike racks. The OutWay bike rack is the easiest bike rack to install and remove. It uses only 2 rubber-coated straps instead of 6 straps to secure the rack to the vehicle for...

  • Will Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack Fit Draw Tite Hitch part # 24945
  • The Draw Tite trailer hitch part # 24945 is perfectly compatible with the Thule Easy Fold XT part # TH903202 that you referenced since the rack is Class I hitch compatible. The pin hole dimension you are asking for is based on an intentional design of Class II hitch accessories. They are designed to not fit all the way into a lower weight rated Class I hitch which is why it seems like the pin hole isn't deep enough.

  • Will The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box # SR7018 Fit My 2001 BMW 3 Series XL Station Wagon
  • The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, part # SR7018, is designed to fit a wide range of crossbars from Thule to Yakima, and most OEM crossbars. If your 2001 BMW 3 Series Station Wagon has a factory roof rack with crossbars that are not wider than 3-3/4 inches, and can be spaced apart 25-7/8, 27-7/8 or 29-7/8 inches, the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box will fit. If your BMW only has side rails that run front to back, you will need to install Thule Roof Rack, part # TH712200 and # TH710401, to...

  • Compatibility of Inno T-slot Adapter Kit INBRP12 with Thule AeroBlade Crosbars
  • The Inno Aero Crossbar T-Slot Mounting Hardware Kit # INBRP12 is compatible with the Thule AeroBlade bar slots. The now-discontinued Inno Lowdown Cruiser cargo box BRA585BK is not compatible with this t-slot kit. The kit WILL work with their Shadow, Wedge, or Stream cargo boxes.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2010 BMW 335i
  • We do have a hitch that will fit your 2010 BMW 335i, but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11033 you were looking at will not fit. You will need the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # SH44VR if you are planning on carrying a bike rack or cargo carrier as it only includes a receiver. If you are planning on towing with your 335i you will need the Stealth Hitches # SH88VR instead which includes the same receiver, but also a tow bar, and a vehicle wiring harness. Both...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 1988 BMW 325i Convertible
  • There are trunk mount bike racks that will fit the coupe and sedan models of the 1988 BMW 325i, but none will fit the convertible model. A bike rack cannot be safely secured to the trunk of the vehicle. What you could do is install a trailer hitch # C11702 and use a hitch mount bike rack with stabilization strap # 18050 as required by Curts warranty. Because this is a Class I trailer hitch only certain bike racks will fit and you are limited to carrying just 2 bikes. For a bike rack,...

  • Fit of K Source Universal Clip-On Extra Large Towing Mirror # KS3891 on 2002 BMW 235i Sedan
  • The K Source Universal Clip-On Extra Large Towing Mirror # KS3891 is sold as a single unit and as a universal-fit item it is designed to fit both driver and passenger OEM mirrors on a broad range of vehicles. I have linked a product review video that details this item and its installation. Before towing any trailer I suggest you first check your 325i owners manual. My online research indicates this vehicle does not carry a formal tow rating from the manufacturer. We do offer one 1-1/4-inch...
