BMW 3 Series Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a BMW 3 Series in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open CURT 11367. That Class 1 hitch uses a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed 2011 through 2018 3 Series years on the live card, and the same shelf also lists 4 Series years. CURT 11033 covers the earlier 2006 through 2008 328xi and 335xi band when that is your door sticker. Both are light-duty hitches for bike racks and modest loads when the BMW tow limit agrees. Wiring is a separate carton, and we do not invent a 3 Series-only four-flat when the shelf does not carry one that lists this badge.

Which CURT hitch fits your BMW 3 Series

CURT 11367 is the deepest 3 Series hitch we keep in stock here. It is a Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver. The live description lists about two thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two hundred pounds tongue weight. The same live card also lists 4 Series years, so confirm your badge and year on the product page before you order. Keep 4 Series shoppers honest about that shared shelf, and keep the BMW door sticker in charge either way.

CURT 11033 is the earlier path for listed 2006 through 2008 328xi and 335xi years on the same one and one quarter inch tube size. Many 3 Series shoppers who only want a bike rack prefer that smaller tube. Match pins, locks, and covers to the one and one quarter inch opening. The live 11367 card notes about forty-five minutes of install time for novice installs.

Parts-counter notes before you click buy

Topic What we tell shoppers
Door sticker first A hitch is not a blank cheque. Read the BMW tow limit, then open hitch versus vehicle tow rating.
Class 1 honesty Both cards are Class 1 with a one and one quarter inch tube and modest live ratings. Do not assume a cargo trailer just because a receiver is on the car.
Shared 4 Series shelf 11367 lists 3 Series and 4 Series years on one card. Confirm your badge. We do not invent a separate 4 Series buyers guide in this batch.
Year split 11367 for listed 2011 through 2018 3 Series years. 11033 for listed 2006 through 2008 328xi and 335xi years.
Wiring gap We do not invent a 3 Series-only four-flat when the shelf does not carry one that lists this badge. Open the wiring harness guide for Canada plug basics.
Receiver size Match accessories to the one and one quarter inch tube. See the receiver size guide.
Bike rack reality Many 3 Series hitch buyers only want bikes or a small cargo box. Open hitch for bike rack only when that is the whole plan.
SUV cousins X3, X4, X5, and X1 keep their own guides when those badges are on the door. See also the 5 Series hitch buyers guide.

Year pages we publish for the BMW 3 Series

Year jumps we publish for the 3 Series. Open the lander that matches the model year on your door sticker, then confirm the live hitch card still lists that year. We only link landers that already exist.

These are BMW 3 Series hitch year pages we publish today. Some years use series landers and some use 328i or 320i landers. Confirm product-card years before you buy. We do not invent hitch SKUs or year pages that are not live.

3 Series towing and accessory reality

Most 3 Series hitch shoppers in Canada want a bike rack, a small cargo carrier, or a very light utility trailer when the door sticker agrees. That is usually a Class 1 conversation on a one and one quarter inch tube with careful tongue weight. Confirm tongue weight with tongue weight explained. For ball-mount height, open ball mount guide and how to measure ball mount drop. Coupler size must still match the hitch ball — see match trailer coupler to ball.
