From what I could find online it looks like the towing capacity of your 2017 BMW X1 ranges from 1,023 lbs - 1,177 lbs depending on the exact model. You should be able to find specifics on this in your owner's manual as I couldn't locate one online. If you don't have your owner's manual or can't find the capacities then you can always contact your local dealer with your VIN for that capacity.

The towing capacity of a 2017 BMW X1 is between 1,023 and 1,177 lbs here in the USA. Vehicles in other countries will typically have higher towing capacities than here since the US is a bit more cautious with towing for a lack of a better term.
The Curt hitch part # C13303 is a fit for your vehicle and has more capacity than you'd need as well. For trailer wiring then you'd want the easy to install and reliable # 118717 which I attached an install video for.

Within the 2014 BMW X1 model range there are two 28i sub-models, the sDrive28i and the xDrive28i.
On the BMW U.S. website I found an online edition of the owners manuals. The manuals for both the sDrive28i and the xDrive28i indicate nothing at all about trailer towing capacity! No mention of trailer towing is made, only details about towing the vehicle when it is disabled. It is not uncommon for some auto owner's manuals to be a bit evasive and sketchy about their position on towing with... view full answer...
