Product Description
CURT Manufacturing focuses on being first-to-market with our new custom fit hitch designs. CURT is the only hitch company in the industry that mechanically de-scales all of our hitches before applying a thick powder coat finish leaving an attractive high-gloss, smooth surface. You will have no worries about your product rusting, as CURT features WeatherTite™ construction which seals the main body of the hitch. All CURT hitches come with mounting hardware and easy to follow installation instructions. Our class 1 hitches have a 1 1/4 In. receiver opening, and rate up to 2,000 Lbs. gross trailer weight (GTW) and 200 Lbs. tongue weight (TW). This Trailer Hitch includes a standard CURT ball mount with a pin and clip. We're so confident in the quality of our trailer hitches that we back them up with a limited lifetime warranty and a one year finish warranty.

It's OK
By Christopher Lee
I had a hard time deciding how many stars to give this. It's not at all perfect, but there aren't many alternatives. Curt should be rewarded for helping us 5 series folks out, but the price is rather high when the negatives are considered.The black finish is wonderful although I don't think that's very important. What is important is the strength. To that, I can only take their word provided you stay within the tongue weight and trailer weight. Perhaps I'll update this summer.I need to point out that this hitch mounts to the sheet metal around the spare tire well; not the frame. I think this relates to the Class I rating.There are two negatives:1) The thinner bar that has four holes is straight. But the BMW is slightly curved here. What to do? Well, either the car's sheet metal will bend or the hitch bar will (or maybe both?). I decided the hitch was more replaceable than the car, so I bent the bar myself, before bolting in place. Of course, this chipped the finish. In my opinion, this should have been addressed.2) The unit comes with a receiver. But the black finish was applied so heavily that it built-up at the end preventing fitment in the hole. Yes, it was addressed, but for the price I expected it right.My brief experience with the hitch pulling the boat out of the shed was positive. I got on the brake hard a few times to see what happened. Answer? Not much.My last comment: I used construction glue between the hitch and the body to prevent water from rusting out the car. Like I said, the hitch mounts to the sheet-metal and you can't afford that to rot away. Yes, it may increase the strength although I would not even think to suggest you tow more than they recommend![UPDATE; Nov, 2010] Two observations:1) I've used this hitch pulling some 800 - 1000 lbs over the summer. The hitch has worked well with no evidence of damage.2) It tends to get whacked when going over significant changes of road height. For example, when entering a driveway that's above the road grade, the hitch makes contact with the road.

Easy to install and works perfect.
By Artem Rakhimov
I installed this hitch onto my 1999 BMW 540iT (E39 Station wagon). Installation was easy, all you need to do is remove your rear bumper (easy) and then drill 6 holes in the spare wheel niche. For that car you would need to buy a CURT trailer light converter to remove load placed by trailer lights from the vehicle's electrical system.I use it to tow 16-20 ft boats and it works just fine. Remember, it's a Class 1 Hitch so you can't really tow cars or anything heavier than 2000 lbs.Yes, the hitch, as any other hitch, does lower your rear clearance, so I scratch my driveway sometimes when approaching it under right angle.
