Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24857 is a Class I trailer hitch and you are limited to carrying 2 bikes on Class I trailer hitches. You also have to make sure that the bike rack you use is Class I compatible.
I recommend the Swagman Titan, # S63400. This rack features anti-sway cradles, it can tilt down, and it has an integrated cable lock. This rack also has a 3 inch rise in the shank for greater ground clearance. I have included some informational links on the rack and hitch for you.
We have not yet had the opportunity to install a hitch on a 2007 BMW 3 Series so I do not have a video that I can link you to but the instructions I have linked will help.
