Expert Answers about BMW X3


  • Comparison Between Curt C13316 and Draw Tite 76226 Class III Hitches for 2015 BMW X3
  • Both the Draw-Tite # 76226 and the Curt # C13316 are fits for the 2015 BMW X3. Both hitches are pretty much on par as far as quality goes. The Draw-Tite does have a higher tongue weight and towing capacity as you mentioned, but you'd be limited to the 3500/350 lb rating of the vehicle, so the difference in capacity is pretty much a moot point, as the capacity of the vehicle will always take precedence. Neither hitch would damage anything as long as the vehicle's weight capacity is observed. I...

  • What is the Difference Between the Thule AeroBlade Edge and WingBar Roof Racks
  • The discontinued Thule AeroBlade Edge uses Thule's AeroBlade Edge technology which mount flush to your 2014 BMW X3 factory side rails so do not extend farther than your side rails. Thule WingBar Roof Rack with # TH711200 is an aftermarket style rack which sits along the top of each bar. Unlike the AeroBlade Edge, this roof rack extends past your vehicle's factory side rails. This rack is 47" long which gives more space to carry items on your roof. It also comes in black using # TH711220. The...

  • Comparing Trailer Hitch Options for a 2020 BMW X3 M30i
  • We have 2 different trailer hitch options that will work perfect for carrying a bike rack with your 2020 BMW X3 M30i and it really just boils down to what look you are shooting for. Both the Draw-Tite # 76226 and the Stealth Hitches # SH59VR trailer hitches have hidden crosstubes so you'll only see the hitch receiver. The Draw-Tite option is a little more traditional in that the hitch receiver will always be there while the Stealth Hitches option gives you the ability to remove the receiver...

  • Comparing Curt and Stealth Trailer Hitches for a 2014 BMW X3
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13316 is a great option for a 2014 BMW X3. The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # SH27VR is another great option as well. The main difference between the two comes down to appearance. The Curt hitch has a fixed receiver so this will always be visible below the bumper whereas the Stealth has a hidden receiver which can be removed while not in use. There's an obvious price difference between the two, most of which is contributed to the hidden...

  • Wiring Harness for 2015 BMW X3
  • The ModuLite Ultra Protector Wiring Harness part # 119192 is missing a few parts when compared to the Upgraded Heavy Duty ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119250KIT. The latter kit comes with a fuse holder, circuit tester, and 4-way trailer connector whereas the other does not. For your 2015 BMW X3 I highly recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119250KIT as you will need the circuit tester and this harness doesn't require splicing.

  • Thule Doubletrack # TH92BJ vs. Swagman Chinook # S64683
  • The real benefits that you get from the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT # TH92BJ is that it weighs 32 lbs, it is made right here in the USA, and the trays are a little more customizable since they are on their own "tracks". If you don't mind the extra 15 lbs of the Swagman Chinook # S64683 and you are able to utilize the wheel trays just fine (which typically isn't a problem) then I recommend the Chinook. It is at a lower price point, comes with everything that the Doubletrack does, has the higher...

  • Differences Between the Thule Force XT and the Thule Motion XT
  • The Thule Force XT # TH6358B and the Thule Motion XT # TH629706 are nearly identical in every way. The only real differences are that the Motion XT has a SlideLock system which makes the lid lock automatically once it's completely closed and has red Indicators to let you know if lid isn't closed securely, as well as a slightly large crossbar spread compatibility (literally 1-3/8"), and an extra load strap to secure cargo. Personally I like the Black AeroSkin finish on the Force XT over...
