  • What Will The Thule Passage 3 Fit A 2010 Toyota Highlander And A 2016 BMW X5?
  • It seems like the bike rack you have is the Thule Venture which is now the Thule Passage # TH911XT. This will fit a 2016 BMW X5 but not a 2010 Highlander. This Saris Bones # SA803 will fit your Highlander though!

  • Fitting Malone AirFlow 2's to a 2013 BMW X5 With Raised Roof Rails
  • I have a possible solution for you, but the Malone AirFlow2 58 Inch, part # MPG216 would be adversely affected by trimming the roof rails. Additionally, there is a good chance the endcaps will not fit on the bar after they are trimmed. Instead, I recommend looking at the 50 inch version of the AirFlow 2, part # MPG215. I took a measurement and the spread between bases is 44 inches at their maximum spread. This could be a fit for your vehicle if the raised rails on your vehicle are 44 inches...

  • What Hitch Allows You to Keep the Use of the Factory Impact Structure on a 2018 BMW X5
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75600 does retain use of the factory impact structure bar, you would remove the impact bar during installation but then the impact bar would be put back in place. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13077 does take the place of the impact structure, the hitch would then provide the support and safety the impact bar once did. They both have 2" receiver openings, 600 pound tongue weight and 6000 pounds for trailer weight. Either hitch will work...

  • According to Yakima, the HangOut 3, part # Y02620, is indeed compatible with the 2007 BMW X5. The rack has a maximum capacity of 90 lbs.

  • Is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver SH89VR the Correct Fit For a 2023 BMW X5 M Package
  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH89VR is the correct fit for your 2023 BMW X5 M package. Sometimes our site can be a little bit confusing. When it shows "excluding M Sport package or M performance models" and "models with M Sport Package", it simply means that it will work with the M package and without the M package. I am not sure if you already have a bike rack or still need one, but I really like the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack # Y36FR. I like this rack because of its versatility....

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 2013 BMW X5 with Tire Size P255/55-18
  • The tire size P255/55-18 on your 2013 BMW X5 is compatible with the ISSE Hybrid Snow Socks # TCH74 that you referenced as well as the other tire chain products shown on the linked page. But you'll also want to check your BMW owner's manual for any guidance regarding use of such winter traction devices on your car since there are several versions. Some vehicles can use chains only on one axle or the other; other cars can use chains only on a particular tire size; others must use a special...

  • What 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack Will Fit a 2007 BMW X5
  • We do offer several 3 bike trunk mounted carriers that will fit your 2007 BMW X5, I have provided a link to these options for you. I would like to caution you that most of our bike carriers are compatible with vehicles that either do not have a rear spoiler or have a rear spoiler that can support the weight of a trunk mounted bike rack.

  • Will the Konig Tire Chains # th2004705265 Fit My 275/40ZR20 and 315/35ZR20 Tires on My 2016 BMW X5?
  • I went ahead and checked your owner's manual of your 2016 BMW X5, and it specified that snow tire chains should only be used on the rear tires with tire sizes of 255/55 R 18 and 255/50 R 19. They are not recommended to be used on the front per BMW. With that being said, the manufacturer recommendations are most often based on internal clearance on the inside edge of the tire. Sometimes, in extreme cases, there can be damage to the struts and other parts in the wheel well. I If you are...

  • Wireless Brake Controller Solution that Doesnt Require Drilling Frame
  • You could maybe run zip ties through the mounting bracket holes of the Prodigy RF if you didn't want to drill or a simpler option might be to go with the Curt Echo Mobile brake controller part # C51180 instead which just plugs into a 7-way instead of needing to mount anywhere. Once you sync it to your smart phone you'd be ready to tow.

  • 2018 BMW X5 Trailer Hitch Recommendation
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75492 you initially purchased fits a 2000 - 2006 BMW X5 so we need to get you a new trailer hitch for your 2018 model. For that I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e84AR because it has the hidden crosstube (like the other hitch options) but it's the only hitch for your vehicle that comes with a matte black finish. This finish blends in with any black trim on your vehicle better than a glossy finish, and it's great at hiding...
