Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and later be showing you how to install this CURT 4-pole Wiring Harness on our 2014 BMW 3 Series. This is a universal kit, which I would normally stray away from just because they can be more involved and it's designed to work on really any vehicle. But in the case of this 3 Series here today, the installation was surprisingly smooth because the battery's in the back of the vehicle, you don't have to run much wiring and everything's very accessible for a clean install. So that's a big benefit. more
