This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.by: Dave07/03/2019
The hitch came right on time. It is substantial as they say. I had a body shop install it for me as removing the back bumper cover was beyond my pay grade. I like the way it is hidden except for the 2 x2 receiver. some of the hitches from the trailer rental place I see around town are ridiculous they way they hang down.

Hi Dave, Do you remember how long it took for the install? Trying to guesstimate labor costs $$$. TY

@MelodieC Hopefully, we'll hear from Dave! Curt estimates that it'll take a trained professional at least two hours to complete the install of their # C13387 hitch. For a novice, you'd want to add an hour or two to that time.

Had this Curt installed on my 2020 X3 x drive about a year ago by a local body shop. I have used it for my bike rack and also have a carrier tray. Quality of the powder coat is very good, with no signs of rust after a year. The powdercoat seems better than the Draw Tite hitch that I had on my MDX. Overall very satisfied with this purchase.

After a year of occasional use, the hitch is in very good condition. A bit of rust inside the receiver. Overall the powder coat is still in great shape.

2018 BMW X3
Purchased this for a 2018 X3 and had it installed by a BMW Certified shop costing $834 for 6 hours of labor.
Unfortunately, now the exhaust does not hang correctly causing the exhaust tips not being centered within the cutouts. The installation shop referred me to an exhaust specialist to solve it which will likely run another $150-$250.
Otherwise the hitch looks as expected.

I have a 2022 X3. My mechanic who installed the Curt #13387 Hitch indeed followed the directions and the end result was the left tailpipe hung 1/2" lower than the right one. In hindsight I would have purchased the more expensive Drawtite hitch as it seems to be designed to hang the exhaust from the existing hardware in the car. Otherwise the hitch seems to be OK.

I checked and the Draw Tite hitch part # 76226 has a very similar install. When we finished the installation on a 2019 BMW X3 on this hitch you can see at mark 11:11 that the exhaust pipes were even.

Hitch is high quality and came with complete installation instructions. I use it for a bike rack and it will also work well for pulling a trailer.

Still performing great. I recommend this hitch
by: Gunter03/07/2020
nicely made, sturdy design, good welds and finish. Have not installed it yet,
waiting for warmer weather and my experience with items I purchased from you before I don’t expect any problems.
F.Y.I. I fill the cross tube with expandable foam out of a can. Prevents rusting from the inside out, have used this method for years and it works.

Great solid hitch, pulling a 5000 Lbs. boat for a 250 mile trip a few times a year. Also use it to carry 4 bikes on a bike rack that goes into the receiver, nice and very solid very little deflection with 4 bikes on it. No problems with the installation followed the instructions

As other said, this is NOT an easy install. I have installed 3 other hitches (two BMW, one Audi) and while it takes time, it is not especially difficult. However, this Curt hitch has some strange design flaws. You have to use an angle grinder or torch to cut off and drill out a welded on bolt, which is really difficult. And it is seemingly needless...the Draw Tite hitch for this car (x3) did not require this. To make matters worse, when you finally get the bolt off and get everything installed, the exhaust system is shifted about an inch to the passenger side, and is very obvious (see previous reviews for a picture). It bugged me so much that I redid the entire thing the next day (another 2 hours) just to modify the rubber-coated steel exhaust hanger bushing...not easy. And then when i reassembled, it is still offset about 1/2" to the right. I really have no idea why Curt would make you relocate the exhaust hanger, and not realize it also causes misalignment. The Draw Tite 76226 does not so go with that product if you are choosing.

You're not going to post this one. Installation was VERY difficult. Instructions were miss leading. Installation required drilling out a welded-in stud in the car's bumper (not mentioned in instructions). Re-hanging the car's muffler on the hitch's stud was a bear of an operation. A small design change would fix both of these problems.
BTW: This is the third Curt hitch I've installed. The others were easy.
by: Douglas06/10/2020

There is a lot to do to install this hitch. The one thing that isn't mentioned is that, on the driver's side muffler hanger, you need an acetylene torch to remove the bolt from the bumper frame. It's welded in place, so won't come out with a hammer. Also, it would have been helpful to know that, because of positioning, the bumper frame and hitch need to be mated to the passenger side muffler hanger, and that prior to trying this, the passenger side hanger needs to be removed from the current hanger post.
Luckily, with trial and error, I found these out, it's installed and I don't have to do it again.

I am very happy with my Rhino rack. Easy to mount, solid and looks great.

As usual, etrailer comes through again! They never fail me, always great service and ALWAYS the best prices and options in the industry! I’ve been a hitch man since 1980 and this is the best place to do business!

It's been a year and the product is holding up well, excellent quality. We had it installed by our mechanics and have a bike rack on it (which stays on all the time). Really happy with it.

- What Does Curt Hitch C13387 for 2018 BMW X3 WeighThe Curt hitch part # C13387 that you referenced weighs 30 lbs.
view full answer... - Will the Curt C13387 Trailer Hitch Fit a 2022 BMW X3 xDrive30i?I checked with Curt and the # C13387 will fit your 2022 BMW X3 xDrive30i. The only exception for this hitch so far is the M40i package. We have not done an install on a 2022 as of yet, but I did include a video we did on a 2019 for you to check out.
view full answer... - Why Does Curt Hitch for 2019 BMW Come with Plastic RivetsI wish it was possible but the OEM rivets get damaged when they are removed so installing the Curt # C13387 requires installing the included plastic rivets to reattach the wheel wells. You will need to borrow or buy a plastic rivet gun to reinstall them. I attached a set of detailed instructions to this page though for you to check out as well.

- Curt Hitch for 2018 BMW X3 and Does it Interfere with Hands Free LiftgateI checked with Curt and for your 2018 BWM X3 the part # C13387 is a confirmed fit and they state that the hands free liftgate will still work once installed. You'll just have to kick to either side of the hitch opening or make a wider movement with your foot. Whats really great about this hitch is that only the hitch tube hangs below the rear bumper so you get a more hidden hitch with better ground clearance.
view full answer... - How Can I Use a 1-1/4" Accessory on a 2-Inch Hitch for My 2022 BMW X3? By saying you have a 2022 BMW X3i, I assume you mean either a 2022 BMW X3 xDrive30i or the sDrive30i. You are correct that we only have 2-inch hitch receivers that are available for all models of 2022 X3. Although, there is a way to still use your 1-1/4" Class II accessory. For that route, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770 along with the Curt Hitch - 2" # C13387. With the adapter, you create a compatible 1-1/4" receiver...
view full answer... - Which Hit Fits on a 2020 BMW X3 M ModelI have a solution for you, but the Curt # C13387 is not compatible with the M trim packages on the 2020 BMW X3. The only hitch available that will fit on the M trim packages of the 2020 BMW X3 is the Stealth Hitch # SH59VR (for accessories only-no towing) or # SH45VR (accessory and towing- comes with trailer wiring, accessory receiver and towing ball mount/hitch ball combo). Stealth hitches keep your vehicle looking clean and just like it came from the factory since the receiver and ball...

- Curt vs. etrailer Trailer Hitch For 2024 BMW X3Just one difference exists between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches for your 2024 BMW X3, and that is the finish. The etrailer hitch has a matte black finish, while the Curt hitch has a glossy black finish, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '24 X3 are the following part numbers: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e46KR - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13387 The matte black finish does hide those inevitable scuffs and scratches better than the glossy...
view full answer... - Availability Of Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2022 BMW X3 M40iThere sure is! For your 2022 BMW X3 M40i you will need to go with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76226 as it is compatible with your M40i model where the # C13387 you were looking at is not. This hitch is a great choice for your vehicle as its hidden crosstube design makes it so only the receiver itself is visible once installed as you can see in the included picture. It looks like you were looking at towing accessories so if you will be towing a trailer with your X3 you will...
view full answer... - What Hitch will Fit My M Model 2022 BMW X3?I confirmed with Curt that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C13387 will fit both M model and M competition models of 2022 BMW X3s. Apart from providing you with 750 pounds of maximum tongue weight and 5,000 pounds of maximum gross towing weight, the Curt hitch is assembled in the U.S.A. and involves a drill-free bolt-on installation. As with all hitch receivers, I recommend that you confirm with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure that your vehicle can handle...

As the instructions do not include images I have also linked an installation video for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13387 which is identical to our etrailer receiver with the only difference being Curt uses a gloss black powder coat and we selected a matte black finsish which I believe looks better. Both receivers are confirmed to...
view full answer... - Correct Trailer Hitch Fit for a 2019 BMW X3The correct Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver fit for a 2019 BMW X3 (xDrive30i and sDrive30i) is part # C13387. If you have a X3 M40i then you'll need to use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76226. These are both custom bolt-on fit options that come with everything you need for install.
view full answer... - Installation Video Example for 2024 BMW X3 etrailer Trailer Hitch ReceiverAs of right now (November 2023) we haven't had a chance to install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e46KR on a 2024 BMW X3, but we do have an installation video of the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13387 on a 2020 BMW X3 that I'm linking for you to reference. The only difference between these hitches is the etrailer brand has a matte black finish while the curt has a glossy black finish. I like the matte black better because it blends in with the vehicle better and is more resistance to scratches...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for Carrying Bike Rack on 2020 BMW X3For your 2020 BMW X3 30i, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13387. The installation is probably beyond the reach of the typical do-it-yourself-er, because the rear bumper and fascia need to be temporarily removed. I'll link to the installation instructions and an install video. A rivet gun for plastic rivets will also be needed, so this is probably best handled by your favorite mechanic unless you're super handy. The Draw-Tite # 76226 you'd looked at would also fit, but in...
view full answer... - Hitch and Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2021 BMW X3The Curt Hitch part # C13387 is a great option for your 2021 BMW X3 31i for towing a small trailer and since Curt has the most durable powder-coat it would be the best option to prevent corrosion as well. Then for trailer wiring you'd also need the Tekonsha kit part # TK77FR would be the way to go as it's easiest install and most reliable.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Compatible with 2018 BMW X3For your 2018 BMW X3, we have a couple different hitch options. We have the Draw-Tite # 76226 and the Curt # C13387. Both install in the same manner, so I have attached a couple photos to help you with the installed appearance. Either of these options will work well with a bike rack or other accessory. If you will be using this hitch for light towing, I also recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT,...

- What are the Differences Between the Curt, Draw-Tite, and etrailer HitchesHonestly Ladd, not much. All of the hitches: the Curt # C13387, Draw-Tite # 76226, and etrailer # e46KR are basically the same size, weight (30 lbs), and have the same weight capacities. The only thing separating these hitches is going to be the actual brand name, and the fact the Curt and etrailer hitches are assembled in the USA.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2022 BMW X3Yes we do have a hitch for your 2022 BMW X3. I would recommend the Curt hitch part # C13387 which is mostly hidden and has the best towing capacities. I attached an install video and a picture of what it looks like installed. If you need trailer wiring too you'd want the Tekonsha kit part # TK77FR which installs easily and has a very reliable converter box.

- Why do Exhaust Hangers Need to be Removed to Install Curt & Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch on 2018 BMW X3Really good questions, and I did some digging into the installation of both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13387 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76226 that fit your 2018 BMW X3. In regards to why the exhaust hanger nuts need to be removed (on both the driver and passenger side) the reason is these are part of what is holding the bumper beam into place. Since the bumper beam needs to be removed in order to install the hitch, these nuts need to be removed in order to get the beam...

- Professional Installation of Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2018 BMW X3To install your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13387 I recommend taking it to a mechanic you trust.

We don't have companies we recommend because there is no way for us to really track the quality of their work, so we simply suggest utilizing someone you trust to work on your vehicle to also do this installation. I've attached detailed instructions with photos to assist. Just...

The Curt not only provides you with 750 pounds of maximum tongue weight to hold your bikes, it also comes with a gloss outer coat over the base powder coat that provides you with superior rust and corrosion protection over other models.

You'll also need to pick up a plastic rivet gun to complete the installation.

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Install on 2019 BMW X3The 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.
