Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 BMW 328i Sedan
Question:
I have a 2017 BMW 328i sedan that I need a hitch for, what should I get? Do I need wiring to tow a trailer?

Expert Reply:
For your 2017 BMW 328i sedan the hitch I recommend is the Curt part # C11367. It would work great for towing a small trailer and has a concealed crosstube too, which means it won't be quite as visible. You'll need trailer wiring to activate the trailer's lights. For trailer wiring I'd recommend the ZCI Kit part # 119250KIT because it does not require any splicing to install and has a very reliable converter box as well. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out too.
For a ball mount you'd then want the part # 3593 and for hitch balls part # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
