E90 trailer hitch

Schmitz · 11-13-2024, 03:45 PM

I did a search and saw some discussion about various trailers, however, can anyone recommend what they think it's a good hitch for the E90?

Also, how was install? Diy or did you pay to have it done?

Stealth hitch. I have one on my E90, bought from e-trailer.com and installed it myself one night after work. I like that I can remove the receiver easily and the rest of the hitch is out of sight.

I also seems very secure, and there is no rattle like when I use the receiver on my Jeep for example.

Thanks. How was the install?

Another one for the stealth hitch, the install isn't hard at all. Probably the most challenging part is just pulling the bumper skin off correctly to make sure you don't damage those tabs.

I'd also recommend using the Kurt rocker ball on it, it helps kind of lower some of the sound in the cabin since we're unibody.
