CURT11179 Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4-Inch Receiver, Fits Select BMW 525i, 528i, 530i, 540i

Installed on a 2000 bmw 540i. If you are comfortable removing the rear bumper, the install is simple from there. Fairly discreet once installed. However, and this is the reason for 4 stars only, the lower part of the bumper is bowed by the hitch a little, and the gap between he bumper and trunk lid expands a little from the car’s stock position.It’s likely that you as the owner are the only one who would ever notice, and it may well not apply to other car models.
