  • Dimensions of Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11367 to Determine Fit on 2015 BMW 3 Series
  • When somebody asks about the dimensions of a hitch, it usually means they're wanting to install the hitch on a vehicle that hasn't been fit tested. I've heard reports that there's info from online forums where it's said that this particular hitch will fit many different BMW models. Curt has not tested the fit of their # C11367 on vehicles other than the 2014 BMW 328D Sedan, the 2012-2015 328i Sedan or the 2013 BMW 328i xDrive Sedan. Curt can't confirm or deny (or warranty) fit on any other...

  • Could a BMW 328 Wagon Pull a 19 Foot Inboard Boat with Using a Curt Hitch # C11174
  • This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar - Custom Fit - Class I, part # C11174, has towing capacities of 200 lbs tongue weight and 2000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight. You will need to consult the owners manual of your 1999 BMW 328 wagon to see what BMW recommends as towing capacities. You must always go with the lowest towing capacity of all of the components in your towing setup as your overall towing capacity. If you find that the 19 foot inboard boat and trailer weighs less...

  • Does Curt Class I Hitch Allow use of Bike Rack That Can Carry 4 Bikes?
  • The Curt # C11367 is a Class I hitch, as are all the hitches that fit a 2013 BMW 3 Series, and the maximum capacity for a Class I hitch is two bikes so your Pro Series PS63138 cannot be used as a 4-bike rack with this hitch. There are trunk-mounted racks that fit your '13 BMW 3 Series sedan which will allow you to fit a maximum of three bikes. I recommend checking out the Yakima FullBack # Y02634, which only uses four straps to attach to your BMW, rather than the far more common six straps....

  • What Sized Frame Will Fit in the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a Cannondale Bike
  • With the strap in place on the cradles on the 2 outside holes, the distance from the bottom of the cradle to the strap is approximately 3-1/4 inches. The width of the cradle at the widest point is approximately 1-3/4 inches. The distance from the cradle to the strap is a little misleading because if a frame was slightly larger, it could still fit because the straps are rubber and they will stretch. I have included some informational links on this bike rack for you to view. If the top...

  • Is a 2009 BMW 328i Capable of Towing a Small Trailer and Scooter
  • The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 24857, is a Class I trailer hitch with a 2,000 pound gross trailer weight capacity and 200 pound tongue weight capacity. Check your 2009 BMW 328i owners manual for its towing capacities and which ever is lower, the hitch or vehicle, stay within that limit and you will not have trouble. You will want to make sure that the gross trailer weight and tongue weight when loaded is under the capacity of the vehicle or hitch, whichever is lowest. In order to determine...

  • What Are The Weight And Box Dimensions For The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver SH94VR?
  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH94VR, which is a fit for a 2007 to 2013 BMW 3 Series Convertible (excluding the M3), will weight a little over 42 pounds and ships in a box measuring 41" x 12" x 8". As a side note, this unit cannot be used for towing and is only designed to be used with a bike rack or cargo carrier and things of that sort. If you plan on towing at any point, you will need the # SH78VR. This has the same fitment for your vehicle, but includes a wiring and ball...

These measurements were taken on a 2013 BMW 3 Series with stock tires and suspension, but since there are a bunch of different variations of tire sizes these numbers could vary within an 1/2".

  • Bolt Holes of Pintle Mount # 63056 Matching Up with Mounting Holes of Spare Tire Carrier # TR-1
  • As you can see in the photo, the bolt holes of the # 63056 and the # TR-1 and # UF15-954730 will not match up. Although you could drill additional holes in the tire mount that would match up with those of the pintle mount, the two pieces really are not meant to work together. Another concern I have is that the Ultra-Fab and Stromberg Carlson spare tire tire carriers are meant to be used for trailer tires which are typically smaller and lighter than wheels/tires used on a car, truck or...

  • What is the Backspacing of Trailer Tire and Wheel Combo AM3H325
  • The overall width of the wheel in tire and wheel combo # AM3H325 is 8 inches. The inner width where the tire sits is actually 7 inches. Since this wheel has a zero offset the backspacing is going to be 4 inches. The tire width is 8-7/8 inches overall making half of that 4.43 inches or 4-7/16. I made a video for you as well explaining these measurements.
