Expert Answers about BMW X1


  • Will Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2015 X1 M Sport
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75761 will fit your 2015 BMW X1 M Sport since you have the panoramic sunroof. You are correct, there is a difference in the bumper when compared to the installation video, but you will still be able to install the hitch. You won't have any issues with the backup sensors and will be able to disconnect them on the back of the bumper. I have attached a picture which shows the hitch installed on an X1 with a bumper just like yours for your reference.

  • Is Curt Powered Tail Light Converter Kit Compatible with a 2014 BMW X1
  • The Curt Upgraded Circuit Protected Powered Tail Light Converter w Hardwire Kit # C59496 actually replaced the discontinued part 56146 and the Powered Converter Wiring Kit # 55151 that you have. Both of these are compatible with your 2014 BMW X1 which you can see from the attached installation video of the older kit you have on a 2014 BMW X1. The thing about this kit is that its a universal fit since you splice the wiring in so it is compatible with just about any vehicle out there.

  • How to Prevent Theft of Trailer Wheels on a 2007 T@B Clamshell Travel Trailer
  • The lug studs on your 2007 T@B Clamshell Travel Trailer should be 1/2" diameter and if this is the case then part # RG01-150 would work well for you. If they are not 1/2" diameter then we would not have a locking lug nut for you and your only option to prevent left of your wheels would be with a wheel lock like part # RA-25. I have attached a review/install video of both the lug nut and wheel lock for you as well.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Interfere with Foot Activated Liftgate on a 2016 BMW X1
  • For your 2016 BMW X1 the Curt hitch part # C13303 has been confirmed as a fit and would work well. The hands-free liftgate will still function on your vehicle but the worse case scenario is that you may have to aim your foot to either side of the hitch opening. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount...

  • Cargo Carrier for Alpine Skis on Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack
  • Thank you for all of the information! It looks like the widest amount of crossbars space you'll have with the Thule WingBar Edge Kit, parts # TH33RE, # TH89SC, and # TH186007, on your 2017 BMW X1 is 33-1/4" so we need to keep the width of our accessories under that. Pretty much every cargo box that is out there will be wide enough that you won't be able to fit a box and a ski carrier to your crossbars so we need to make sure we are getting a box that will work for your skis. We do have...

  • Which Hitch Fits on a 2017 BMW X1 Sdrive with Front Wheel Drive
  • Yes. The good news is that all of the hitches we have available for your 2017 BMW X1 will fit regardless of the drivetrain and trim options on your vehicle, so you've got several options to choose from. The hitch with the best ground clearance and the one that will give you everything you could need to tow a trailer or carry a bike rack is the Stealth Hitches # SH55VR, which comes with a ball mount/hitch ball combo, trailer wiring and a removable receiver for accessories. The Stealth...

  • Does The Same Hitch Reciever Fit the 2012 and 2013 Model Year of the BMW X1?
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III that you are referring to, # 75761, is the same hitch for both the 2012 and 2013 models of the BMW X1. Any changes made by BMW between those two years did not change the fit of the trailer hitch receiver. To use this hitch receiver for towing purposes, I would recommend using an adjustable ball mount like the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount, # C45900. This ball mount will allow you to tow your trailer level and gives you...

  • Tire Chains for 2017 BMW X1 Plus Safety Equipment
  • The Thule # TH02230K44 Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains are a confirmed fit for 225/50-R18 tires and are designed for vehicles with limited wheel well clearance. As long as you have a couple inches clearance at the wheel tread you should be fine. Since the X1 is a primarily front wheel drive vehicle you will use a pair of chains on the front only. Keep in mind to keep your speed under 30 mph and to only use on compacted snow or ice. Since you are getting your safety gear ready...

  • Will Malone Hanger 3 Bike Trunk Mount Rack Fit 2019 BMW X1 with Spoiler
  • The Malone Hanger 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms part # MPG2139 will fit the 2019 BMW X1 with standard OEM roof spoiler. It will not fit if the BMW has an aftermarket spoiler that sticks out further. The Malone is the only option for a trunk mount rack on the BMW X1 at this time. I have attached a video of the rack on a Subaru Outback Wagon with a very similar spoiler to the BMW. As you can see the top straps do put a lot of stress of the spoiler. My recommendation to carry...

  • Hitch Fits for 2016 Audi A3 Sportback
  • I was able to find a fit for the 2016 Audi A3 Sportback, in a 1-1/4 hitch size. We offer the Curt # C11399, which is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. When using the Curt hitch for non-trailer loads like a bike rack or cargo carrier you will need a stabilization strap like # 18050. If you are looking for accessories for your hitch, I have linked our bike racks and cargo carriers that are compatible with the 1-1/4 hitch. All the hitches availale for your A3 are Class I hitches,...

I recommend the # C59236 wiring harness and a 2 inch ball mount and ball. We offer a variety of ball mounts depending on your towing needs so I included a link to our FAQ Ball Mount Guide for your convenience.

  • Least Visible Hitch Recommendation For A 2022 BMW X1
  • The least visible hitch for your 2022 BMW X1 is going to be the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2" # SH55VR. This hitch has a fully removable receiver tube and ball mount for a totally hidden design that offers a clean, from-the-factory look.

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2019 BMW X1
  • For your 2019 BMW X1, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13303. It will be a great class III hitch with high tongue and towing capacities. For wiring which will give you a 4-way connector and allow you to power your trailer's lights you need Wiring Harness # C59236. It is also strongly recommended you use Dielectric Grease for Electrical Connectors # 11755 to help prevent any type of corrosion in your connector, which will increase its durability and extend its lifespan. I...

  • Will The Rhino Rack RR576 Fit The Crossbars On My 2018 BMW X1
  • Yes, The Rhino Rack Ski Carrier # RR576 will absolutely work with the Crossbars on your 2018 BMW X1, provided we are dealing with a standard crossbar shape. If your crossbars are a major brand like Thule, Yakima or Rhino Rack, you should have no problem. The clamps on the ski carrier are designed to be universal and will fit virtually any crossbar up to 3-3/4" wide and 7/8" tall. The carrier is over 27" wide internally, so you will easily fit two snowboards or two pairs of skis.

  • Does Draw Tite Hitch Fit 2023 BMW X1 M Sport Package
  • We have a customer who was able to install the Draw Tite hitch part # DT54YR on their 2023 BMW X1 with the M Sport package but they did say it required some modifications: I had to trim the fascia, rear plastic sensor housing, heat shield. The fascia doesn't meet the heat shield under the vehicle now due to added depth but I plan to make a joining piece of sheet metal to do so. Overall the product is well made, but fitment requires a pretty solid level of wrenching and willingness to...

  • Roof Mounted Basket to Carry Spare Tire on 2016 BMW X1 with Factory Roof Rack
  • I checked with Thule and they show that the Canyon cargo basket # TH859XT fits the 2015 model year BMW X1 with factory roof rack but no data on the 2016. If the 2016 has the same roof rack as the 2015 then it will fit. For a spare tire carrier Yakima has # Y07076 which is designed to attach to one of their baskets, such as # Y07070, but you could use it on other baskets (some modification may be required). The Canyon has a weight capacity of 150 pounds and the spare tire on your X1 is...

  • Will Hands Free Lift Gate Still Work With Hidden Hitch By Draw-Tite Installed On 2023 BMW X1
  • You will still be able to use the hands free lift gate on your 2023 BMW X1 with the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT54YR. The kick sensor is located on the rear fascia panel and the receiver will sit in front of the sensor opposite of where you are kicking for the sensor. With the removable portion of the receiver installed you will need to perform the motion very close to either side of the receiver. You may notice one side works better than the other when doing this...
