2006 BMW X3 hitch questions

Which trailer hitch fits a 2006 BMW X3?

CURT 13573 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight.

How much can a 2006 BMW X3 tow with this hitch?

The hitch is rated to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight, or 4,000 lb with a weight-distribution hitch. Your X3 has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.

Do I need a wiring harness for the 2006 BMW X3?

If a trailer is going on, yes. Brake and turn signals have to work, and CURT 55151 plugs into the factory connector so the trailer lights follow the X3's. Order it with the hitch and it's one install.
