• How Ball Mount Has The Highest Rise For My Class 1 HItch On My 2017 BMW 3 Series
• When it comes to towing a trailer. We always say that you can have up to 3 inches difference between the hitch and the ball mount. The closet one that we have is The Curt Drawbar # C45028 which has a 6 inch rise. So that will put you at a 4 inch difference. We will not have a ball mount over 6 inches for a class one hitch. I linked a review video of specs below.

• Recommended Solution for Carrying Wave Board on 2006 BMW 325i with Naked Roof
• I recommend using the SeaSucker Board Carrier - Vacuum Cup Mounted - 2 Surfboards or Paddleboards # 298-BX1806, which works around the roof rack that you would normally need to carry this waveboard and will be the most cost effective solution if this is the only thing you'll be carrying on the roof. If you ever would need to carry bikes or a cargo box, I recommend using a full roof rack system like the Rhino Rack Roof Rack system that uses parts # RRVA106B-2, # RRRLKVA, # DK292, which...

• Does the Stealth Hitch for 2013 BMW 3 Series Come in a 1-1/4" Receiver
• I have a solution for you, but the Stealth Hitches # SH94VR is not available with a 1-1/4" receiver, but you could use a hitch reducer sleeve like the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02 with this hitch to fit your current bike rack with a 1-1/4" shank. This is a good choice, since unlike some other options it won't reduce the tongue weight capacity of the setup by 50%, and would be my recommended solution for this. I will add that 2" receivers do provide you with...

• Recommended Class S Snow Tire Chains for a 2016 BMW 3 Series with 225/45 R18 Size Tires
• Tire chains are classified by a letter class to determine how much clearance is required on a vehicle for that particular chain to fit. Since your 2016 BMW 3 Series states, in the owner's manual, to use "fine-link" chains I recommend going with Class S chains, which require the least amount of clearance. I recommend the Titan Chain, part # TC1550, to fit your 225/45 R18 sized tires. These are great chains that don't break the bank and are pretty easy to install. They also don't need...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2014 BMW 328i
• Whether or not this is possible or not is going to depend on what the towing capacity of your 2014 BMW 328i is listed at in the owner's manual. From some quick research, it looks like the towing capacity is 1000-lbs, so you're definitely not going to be able to tow a boat and trailer weighing over 2500-lbs safely. If your vehicle's owner's manual shows that you've got a higher towing capacity than the weight of the boat and trailer, then the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver...

• Recommended Hitch for 2009 BMW 335i Sedan
• For the BMW 335i Sedan, we offer the Curt Class I receiver, part # 11756. The # 24857 hitch you referenced is for the 328i sedan, and would not fit your vehicle. As long as your rack is compatible with a Class I receiver with a 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 inch receiver and you carry no more than 2 bikes, your rack should work fine. Keep in mind that the Curt hitch warranty states that all non-trailer loads such as bikes and cargo carriers should be supported with a stabilizing strap like part # 18050....

• Recommended Euro Style Drawbar with 7 Rise
• I may have a solution for you, but we don't have any Euro style drawbars with a 7" rise and after doing some digging I'm not quite sure they are available that tall . With that said, you may be able to use the Curt # C45591 which has a 6-5/8" rise. This would be the closest solution to the 7" you're looking for. If you were willing to use a non-Euro style draw bar, you could use the Brophy # BM96, which has a 5" rise from the top of the shank to the top of the ball mount platform. You...

• Hitch Recommendation With Class 2 or 3 Compatibility For 2010 BMW 328xi Wagon
• For your 2010 BMW 328xi wagon I recommend the stealth hitch # SH88VR. This is technically a class 3 hitch rated for 3,500 lbs, and has a 2" receiver. Stealth hitch does offer a 1-1/4" receiver attachment that can be bought separately # 391RR1. This will accommodate any of your class 1 or 2 accessories. This is the only hitch I have confirmed to fit your 2010 BMW 328xi wagon. I know stealth hitches are expensive but they are high quality and look very nice once installed.
