Trailer Hitch Compatible with 2017 BMW X1 Hands-Free Liftgate
Question:
Hi Guys - Will this work with a 2017 BMW X1 xDrive28i ? It is an all wheel drive. Reason I am asking is my local shop is saying its not compatible. Thanks

For your 2017 BMW X1 the Curt hitch part # C13303 has been confirmed as a fit and would work well. The hands-free liftgate will still function on your vehicle but at worst you may have to aim your foot to either side of the hitch opening.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you would then want the Curt harness part # C59496.
