Where can I find a hitch for a 2007 335i, preferably Canada. I'm looking at getting a trailer to tow my artic cat wildcat trail XT. It weights around 1200lbs.

Good to hear the hitch will fit on the coupe. Thanks. Now to find max towing capacity.

Max towing will be roughly equal to GVWR. Probably 3500 to 4k. I believe the execu-hitch website has the actual values.

Heard that "rule" to. Saw a site where it listed a 1600kg to. So should be more than enough. I'm looking at towing around 1700lbs, a Side by side on a trailer.

Yeah, you'll be fine pulling that weight. Get ready for some awesome looks. I know I get my fair share when pulling my rig...

This could never be true for E9X's, these cars are rated for a Class 1 only (200 lb. tongue weight, 2000 lb. gross trailer weight). At 4000 lbs. and figuring 12% tongue weight you are talking almost 500 lbs. to the rear of the car by way of tongue weight.

Nah, I think that's off--just do some searching. Your tongue weights are way high, too. Less than 10 for sure and more like 5-9%.

I've been trailering for over 15 years and a 5-9% is not realistic on a 4,000 lb. load but connect whatever you want and go for it.

Well either way it's safe as I don't believe I will pass 2000lbs tow but I did see some towing sepcs at 4000lbs for the 3 series though.
