Curt hitch for 135i

axoid · 03-05-2009, 12:52 PM

I know I haven’t been the only one looking for a hitch for the 1. I just found this and I didn’t see that it had been posted by anyone else. Curt Manufacturing (http://www.curtmfg.com/) is making a hitch for the 135i. I don’t see any reason that it wouldn’t work on a 128 as well.

Why would you want to put a hitch on a 1 series?

Mark M · 03-05-2009, 02:04 PM

The reason for the hitch is obvious........to haul A$$ of course!!!!!!!

shodanusmc · 03-05-2009, 02:13 PM

but depending on what you are hauling, it will slow you down! LOL

The same reason that I have a hitch on the Camaro, to pull a utility trailer. I’ve hauled tires, tools and engine blocks on it. Since I’m ditching the SUV, I’m going to be using it even more.

The One is not intended for trailer trash.

I will now run for cover.

hmm, wonder if that hitch would be safe to use with a hitch mounted bike carrier

Don't know what your problem is, but I'm not biting.

Wow.... I cannot even fathom what the motivation is for saying something so ignorant?

Thanks merger.

BOT: You would be surprised what you will see with a hitch on it in Europe. Good find.

It should. Mine works great with a two bike rack. Mine is custom but looks very similiar to the Curt hitch.

Cant you guys only order a OEM BMW hitch from Europe? Got no problem getting hitch on mine at the dealer here.

Also could get it delivered from the factory, so i guess it is only the us who dont get them?

Endre · 03-06-2009, 07:07 AM

I now se that the 135 dont have it here either. But you get it for the 125I (us 128)

The cars arent different in the rear with M pack so i dont se how it wouldnt fit...
