Expert Answers about BMW X3


  • Bracket for my 4-way and 7-way Connector on my 2017 BMW X3 with a Hidden Crosstube Hitch
  • With the design of your hitch and the cross tube being completely hidden the Curt Easy Mount Bracket for 4- or 5-Way Flat and 6- or 7-Way Trailer Connectors part # C58000 is a great option. It will attach to the receiver tube opening and allow you to attach both your 7-way and 4-way without any modifications to your vehicle. I've linked a video for you showing how it attaches to the hitch for you.

  • Adding Brakes to a 2004 Jayco Qwest 12A Popup Camper
  • There are a few things you can do to add brakes to your popup camper; 1. You can have the Brake Mounting Flange # 4-35 welded onto your current axle by a professional. 2. You can use the Timbre Axle-Less All-In-One Kit # A35RS545E which uses a different suspension system but comes with the brakes and hub/drums. 3. You can purchase a standard axle through a trailer shop that can custom order them. I personally like the Timbren kit since it comes with everything you need plus it gives...

  • Trailer Hitch and Install Recommendation for 2016 BMW X3
  • We don't have any specific recommendations, but any trusted mechanic would usually be able to complete a hitch installation without difficulty. However, a mostly-concealed design hitch like the Draw-Tite # 76226 you'd looked at would require that the bumper and bumper cover which is a pretty extensive process. Because of that, your local body shop would be a better choice as they'd be more familiar with removing and reinstalling parts like bumper covers/fascia. If you'll be using the...

  • Troubleshooting My T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness On My 2018 BMW X#
  • There can be many reasons that your blinkers and your hazard lights are not working: your harness wires may not be connected securely, you may have plugs that are not seated together properly or making a good connection, you may require a fuse or a relay is blown or missing, or the ground may be insufficient.

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2016 BMW X3
  • The hitch you referenced, the Curt 13107 was discontinued and replaced by the # C13316, which is a Class III 2" hitch that is a fit for your 2016 BMW X3, is a bolt-on installation so you will not have to do any drilling into your car's frame, and has a 3,500 lb towing capacity as well as 350 lb tongue weight capacity. To add a 4-flat to power your trailer's lights you need Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. If you are going to be towing, I recommend checking out Ball Mount Kit # 989900, which...

  • Ball Mount and Ball for 2020 BMW X3 Factory Hitch
  • I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500 lbs item # 989900 for your 2020 BMW X3. This will give you a couple options for height on where your ball should be. This will fit the 2' receiver in your X3's factory tow package. I have also linked an article that will help you measure for trailer hitch drop. We do offer torque wrenches. I recommend the Torque Wrench - Dual Scale - 1/2" Drive - 250 ft/lb item # PT79FR. The torque rating for both the 1-7/8 inch and 2 inch...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Install on 2019 BMW X3
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13387 comes with everything needed to install on your 2019 BMW X3. If you are planning on towing with your vehicle, you will need a trailer wiring harness made for your vehicle. I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK77FR as it does not require splicing into your factory harness, which makes for a clean install. I included the install video for the Curt # C13387 and a video for the Tekonsha Harness...

  • Recommended Hitch-Mount 2-Bike Carrier for 2016 BMW X3
  • Based on the trailer hitches we have available that are custom fit for the 2016 BMW X3, the installed hitch is most likely a Class III with a 2 inch hitch opening. I do still recommend verifying this information. There should be a sticker somewhere on the hitch that lists its class and weight capacity. Hitch-mounted bike racks are class and hitch opening specific, so you will want to make sure that the bike rack you choose will be compatible with the trailer hitch on the X3. For a hitch-mounted...

  • Is There a Plug and Play Brake Controller Adapter for a 2021 BMW X3
  • I have a solution for you, but there is not a plug and play adapter for a Tekonsha brake controller to be used with a 2021 BMW X3. You could hardwire your Tekonsha Primus # TK90160 into the vehicle. Or you could use a wireless brake controller like the Curt Echo Mobile # C51180, which is controlled with your smart phone (iOS 8.0/Android 4.4 or newer required). The Echo provides you with the same proportional braking as the Primus, but in a plug and play solution that's extremely popular...

  • What is Needed For Roof Rack on 2011 BMW X3 w/ Flush Mount Rails
  • To add a roof rack to your 2011 BMW X3 with flush mounted rails you just need a couple parts, which are the feet that attach to the rails, and the crossbars. The best option for this is a roof rack from Rhino-Rack, and the correct fit for your X3 is the following: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 - Rhino-Rack SRB Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Flush Factory Side Rails # RRSX026 The reason I like Rhino-Rack the best is because it is the best value for a roof rack; the...

  • Which Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Fits A 2012 BMW X3 35i?
  • I have another option for you, but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13573 is only confirmed to fit the 2004-2010 BMW X3 and will not fit your vehicle. You will need to return it and go with the Curt # C13316 you mentioned instead as it is confirmed to fit your 2012 BMW X3 35i. This hitch has a 2" receiver so to use it with your Thule Bike Rack that has a 1-1/4" shank you will need a 2" to 1-1/4" reducer # HT02. Lastly to make sure there is no interference issues between your bike rack...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for Brake Controller Wiring with 5-Way on 2014 BMW X3
  • The non-splice trailer wiring kit part # 119250KIT that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2014 BMW X3 and will not require any hardwiring since it uses sensors to tap into your vehicle's wiring. This connector does not carry the brake controller circuit for activating trailer brakes though so you'd have to look into converting this to a matching connector like what your trailer has. For that we have a 5-way round socket like part # PK11502 which matches what you mentioned having...
