X4M Trailer Tow Hitch

BMWL0VE · 02-07-2020, 12:04 PM

Good day!

We have contacted Stealth Hitches https://stealthhitches.com/ about putting a hitch on a X4M Competition. They have done so on a few X3M's and they cannot confirm if it would be the same fit on the X4M.

Does anyone have a system installed and any feedback or pictures?

It would be much appreciated!

Thank you.

Interested in the answer as well.

I have the factory installed hitch on my new X4, so I would be suprised if someone can't find a way to install an aftermarket hitch.

I see you live in Laval, way back when I lived on Ile Bazard.

Cheers

It's for a X4M Competiton so it doesn't come from factory unfortunately.

Hello from Laval!

I still don’t understand why BMW don’t offer the factory fitted one in US/Canada versions as we have it as £765 option in uk. Esp when all cars come from same production line.

It's because of some BS rear collision laws here in North America.

Ah ok at least there is some sort of reason for it then all be it a rubbish one. I thought it was just the M models of x3/4 that were not fitted with.

It's an option for the X3/4 M40i trims here in the US, so not sure why it isn't available for the actual M versions.

Well, I know you're looking at a hitch, but I've been thinking of adding this with a rack, but it seems the tongue weight is so low on the X3M it almost seems pointless getting a rack. I was hoping to put my motorcycle on a rack and tow it that way, but the 350lbs max tongue weight negates that entirely. With a 420lb bike plus rack, there's no way it would work...

OP,
Just wondering if you ended up getting a stealth for your X4MC?

Seriously, other than the factory programming for a hitch, not sure why anyone would prefer the factory offering (coming from an M40i) over a stealth hitch on this M. I look back at the M40is with the factory hitch and think I'm so glad my back end doesn't look like that anymore. Not to mention the stealth solution has a higher rated towing capacity due to its ability to provide a direct ball to mount connection without a receiver which introduces miniscal play. Well worth the loss of the factory programming for the increased asthetics IMHO.
