Question:
I cant seem to find a hitch for... 2014 BMW 335i XDrive sedan. No one makes this? Or any manufacturer perhaps in the process of developing this hitch? Thank you.

We do have a trailer hitch for your 2014 BMW 335i XDrive sedan. You can use Curt hitch # C11367. This is a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. If you need to do some light duty towing the compatible ball mount is # C45521. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. For trailer wiring though you will need to visit a BMW dealer.
If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.
Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements.
