Hi, I have a 2020 BMW X3 30i Msports package. I need to install a tow hitch to carry a bike rack. Which of the models should I consider. THANK YOU

We have 2 different trailer hitch options that will work perfect for carrying a bike rack with your 2020 BMW X3 M30i and it really just boils down to what look you are shooting for.
Both the Draw-Tite # 76226 and the Stealth Hitches # SH59VR trailer hitches have hidden crosstubes so you'll only see the hitch receiver. The Draw-Tite option is a little more traditional in that the hitch receiver will always be there while the Stealth Hitches option gives you the ability to remove the receiver when you aren't using it and you just want an all-natural OEM look.
The Stealth Hitches trailer hitch sits at a much higher price-point, but it does offer you the ability to have a completely hidden installation so if you want to retain a factory look this is the way to go. If you are just fine with having the hitch receiver always showing then the Draw-Tite would be the better option simply because of price.
The installation instructions for both have been linked for you to check out.
