Great question!
The difference between the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e93KR and Curt Trailer Hitch # C13303 for your 2022 BMW X1 is the powder coat. Our hitch has a matte black powder coat that is a little thicker and has a "flat" color tone to it while the Curt has a glossy finish that is a bit more noticeable. I tend to prefer the subtle approach which is why I typically recommend the etrailer alternative.
We haven't had a chance to install the etrailer hitch as of yet (December 2022) but we have installed the Curt on a 2020 model which I'm linking for you to check out.
If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for I'd be more than happy to make a recommendation for you!
