Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2022 BMW X1
Question:
What hitch do you recommend for my 2022 BMW X1 so I can carry some bikes? I need a nicer bike rack but I'm unsure what to get.

Thanks for reaching out!
I recommend using the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT54YR for your 2022 BMW X1 because it has a hidden crosstube and a removeable receiver so your BMW has a complete OEM look when you aren't using your bike rack. I also recommend installing the Curt Wiring # C59236 and securing the 4-Way near your hitch receiver using the bracket # 18144.
Having the wiring kit installed then enables you to use the Kuat Piston Pro X # KU98VR which is arguably the nicest bike rack on the market due to it's ease of use and adjustability to fit with different bike frame styles. This rack has lights built into it so even if your bikes cover up your tail lights people can still see your vehicle clearly.
I'm attaching an installation video of the wiring as well as a review video of the bike rack for you to check out!
