  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Estimated Installation Time for 2015 BMW 228i Coupe
  • The Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11367 referenced in your question is indeed confirmed to fit your 2015 BMW 228i Coupe. This is a really nice, Class I hitch that will use existing holes in your vehicle's frame for a no-drill installation. It will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver that will work nicely for light duty towing or with hitch-mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. The installation for the hitch does require temporary removal of the bumper/fascia, along...

  • Does Trailer Wiring have to Be Installed with Curt Trailer Hitch # C11367
  • There are situations where if you are installing a trailer hitch you would not need wiring to go with it. So if you were installing the Curt hitch part # C11367 on your 2015 BMW 228i and only planned on carrying bike racks or cargo carriers there'd be no need for trailer wiring. But if your plan was to tow a trailer you'd need the wiring part # 119250KIT that you mentioned.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 BMW 228i Sedan
  • I have a trunk mounted bike rack that will fit your 2015 BMW 2 Series as long as it is a Sedan, but it is not the Thule part # TH910XT. The Saris Bones part # SA805BL has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and would be a great choice. Check out the review video I attached for more info on it. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 BMW M235i
  • We have a way to carry bikes with your 2016 M235i, but there are no hitches available for your vehicle. A trunk mounted bike rack like the Saris Bones part # SA805BL would be a great option that is confirmed as a fit. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes...

  • Which Thule OutWay Trunk Rack Fits 2016 BMW 2 Series
  • I checked with Thule and while they have the 2-bike hanging style trunk rack as a fit for your 2016 BMW 2-Series they do not list the platform style. The platform version is pretty heavy and the older versions occasionally dented vehicles so they are very cautious about listing it as a fit for your vehicles. I'd rather recommend you go with the hanging style OutWay instead that is part # TH45JV which we know fits well and is really the best option available for a trunk rack for your vehicle....

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 BMW 228i Coupe
  • For your 2014 BMW 228i coupe the Saris Bones part # SA805BL is going to be your best option. This rack has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and will hole the bikes away from the rear of your vehicle. It also has anti-sway cradles that will prevent the bikes from rocking back and forth and potentially contact your vehicle. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter...

  • Install Video and Instructions for Curt Hitch for 2015 BMW 228i xDrive Coupe
  • The Curt hitch you mentioned part # C11367 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 BMW 228I X Drive coupe. I attached an install video for this hitch on a 3 Series that will be very similar to your 2 Series as well as a link to the detailed install instructions for this hitch as well. I really like the Thule Helium 2 Bike Platform Rack part # TH44VR for a bike rack. This is a platform bike rack that only touches the bike at the tires and comes with an integrated hitch and cable lock for optimal...
