2014 528i Tow Hitch dilemma

sdshakal · 10-27-2018, 08:29 PM

So I recently bought a motorcycle and now I need a way to get it around. As I started shopping around for a trailer hitch I’ve come to find out that there isn’t one available for my car.

Here’s the kicker. You can get one from uHaul for a 2013 and 2015 but not the 2014....

etrailers.com had them for 535 and 550 but not 528.

My car has a towing capacity for 1500lbs but there isn’t a to hitch available? I don’t think that can be right and I refuse to believe that there is any difference just for that 1 year. Either the 2013 or 2015 should work but I’m not sure which one. They even have it available for 328i for that year, hell even Prius can have a tow hitch, so I’m sure my car can too.

If someone with knowledge on this topic can help me out or point me in the right direction I’d greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Check the for sale section, there was an invisihitch for sale. Not sure if still available. I had to refrain from buying it myself...
With that one there is not a difference between years, shouldn't be with any of them really.

What bike did you get?

I bought a 350 KTM XCF. Been out of riding for about 6 years due to college and work but finally decided to get back into it. Don't want to change to a truck so the hitch is the best solution for now.

Do you think the 2013 or 2015 would fit my car? On uHaul website they look different but on trailers they are all very similar

The 2014 f10 in North America at least was LCI so probably the 2015 version fits. Maybe they are not sure about 2014 due to the transition, since many carmakers make changes in such transitions.

KTM, nice! I have a BMW G450X, have been considering the same in regards to hitch, but think I will get a beater truck instead, no towing to go ride, but can tow the car hauler when needed without renting a truck.
I just looked at uhauls sure and they use a Curt hitch, in Curt's website 2011-2016 use the same part#. Curt #11381.
