Question:
I like to install a trailer Hitch on my 2013 BMW 528xi but when i look at the year and model my car is not showing up only 535i, 535xi and 550i or 550xi. Does the same Trailer Hitch #11381 would not fit my care? thanks

I have a possible solution for you, but unfortunately there is not a trailer hitch fit for your 528xi from any of our manufacturers. Curt manufacturing only made a fit for the 2008 model year and had nothing before or following that model year for the 528xi.
If you were looking to use the hitch for a bike rack, I recommend the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH56BV which has the integrated locks.
If you wanted the hitch for carrying, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Roof rack as an alternative. It consists of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" # RRVA126B-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and Custom DK Fit Kit # DK062. This rack is rated for 140 lb max capacity.
