Recommended Hitch for 2009 BMW 335i Sedan
Question:
Is there a hitch that can be used for my car? I have a hitch-mount bicycle rack and would like to be able to use it with my BMW. It would usually only be carrying 1 or 2 bikes, at most.

For the BMW 335i Sedan, we offer the Curt Class I receiver, part # 11756.
The # 24857 hitch you referenced is for the 328i sedan, and would not fit your vehicle.
As long as your rack is compatible with a Class I receiver with a 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 inch receiver and you carry no more than 2 bikes, your rack should work fine.
Keep in mind that the Curt hitch warranty states that all non-trailer loads such as bikes and cargo carriers should be supported with a stabilizing strap like part # 18050. To see how the strap works, click on the provided link, which features a demonstration video.
If your 335i is a convertible model, we do not have an available hitch.
I have also linked you to the installation details for the # 11756 hitch.
