Recommended Hitch for 2011 BMW 328i Convertible

Question:

Hello, I want to make sure that this hitch will fit my 2011 BMW 328i convertible. I know that the coupe, sedan and convertible are all different in their bumper configuration. Does this hitch really fit all three? - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4 Item # C11033

I may have a solution for you, but the Curt # C11033 is only a confirmed fit on the 328xi Sedan and the Draw-Tite # 24857 is only a confirmed fit on the 328i Sedan, so these hitches won't work for you; the bumper isn't necessarily the deciding factor on fit and the more important factor is the frame of the vehicle and the available attachment points.

The only hitches that we have confirmed as a fit on the 2011 BMW 3 Series convertible like your 328i are the Stealth Hitches # SH78VR (for towing) or # SH94VR (for accessories only). These are high quality hitches that are designed to sit behind your bumper and because the receiver can be removed when not in use, you'll have better ground clearance than if you had a permanently installed hitch. If you get the # SH94VR and decide you need to tow at a later date you can add the towing components with the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - 2" Ball # 391CONVA7. On top of the hidden design, the Stealth Hitch provides you with a 2" receiver that will provide you with a better variety of hitch mounted accessories that you can carry.
