Question

Question:

Hi, I am looking for a hitch that fits my 2104 BMW 328 xDrive SEDAN I have found model #11367 but looking for the compatible vehicle list, it does not list the 328i xDrive Sedan specifically, it lists the 328i xDrive and the 328i xDrive Wagon. Can you clarify please? If it helps, I will be using it with a Kuat bike rack kuat nv base 2.0 with a 1.25inch hitch mount size. Thanks!
