How Can I Use a 1-1/4" Accessory on a 2-Inch Hitch for My 2022 BMW X3?
Question:
Thanks Bob! Also do you know if hitches made for the 2021 model also work on the 2022 one? Or are they separate parts for each model year?

By saying you have a 2022 BMW X3i, I assume you mean either a 2022 BMW X3 xDrive30i or the sDrive30i. You are correct that we only have 2-inch hitch receivers that are available for all models of 2022 X3.
Although, there is a way to still use your 1-1/4" Class II accessory. For that route, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770 along with the Curt Hitch - 2" # C13387. With the adapter, you create a compatible 1-1/4" receiver opening with the 2-inch hitch. However, it is important to note that by using the adapter, you reduce the overall weight capacity of the hitch to 2,500 pounds of maximum gross towing weight capacity and 375 pounds of maximum tongue weight capacity.
