Beauty! Nicely done, boys. You made it look easy. I tried my manual rivet tool on those trim fasteners but I didn’t have an attachment with the right sized opening for the pin! E84 wheel arch trim, btw.

[@AskTheCarExperts]

This was a fun project to share. I think many people now realize why the dealer charges what they do for this repair.

@@AskTheCarExperts And you two were like a well oiled machine doing that swap 👍🏻

[@richeder3035]

@@AskTheCarExperts Thank you for Nice, easy, smarty installation video. 🙏💪🏻 Could you please help me maybe with the link for shop where I can get same electric hitch but for 7 series F01 2013? Will Much appriechate. 😊

Excellent video guys. I’ve been thinking of doing this on my 2018 X3. My biggest worry would be not recalling which bolts go where while reinstalling everything. :) That is a nice hitch and wiring setup though.

[@AskTheCarExperts]

One good method is to use some baggies and write down where they came from. Or take some picture with your phone. Tue install is not too bad overall.

[@PH-md8xp]

@@AskTheCarExperts Thanks for the suggestion.

[@KBC82313]

Great video!!! What’s the wiring harness part number please??

[@AskTheCarExperts]

It does depend on the year of the vehicle. The best thing to do would be to call your local dealer for the part number looked up using your VIN

Hey I need some help about my bmw323ci. My car turns, but there is no throttle. It turns doesn't even start. When I spray fuel starter into the intake tube it starts force seconds then shuts off. Do you think the throttle body is clogged?? I've replaced the fuel pump but nothing happend.

[@AskTheCarExperts]

Hi Daniel, This sounds like you are not getting fuel. If you spray into the throttle the vehicle is using the spray as fuel and starting. I would check fuel pressure to verify but it sounds like it could be a bad fuel pump.

[@user-hh4yv2mu5e]

hello. I buy a 2022 BMW x5, can I install this one? I went to the 4S and they said no?

[@AskTheCarExperts]

I am pretty confident it would be available through a dealer. You need them to look it up by VIN

[@tojadmka]

Would you happen to know if such DIY installation could void 'Certified Pre-Owned' waranty?

[@AskTheCarExperts]

Hi Maciek, No using OEM parts would not void your warranty. The CPO would not cover the hitch but normal CPO covered items would still be covered.

[@kamiladamczyk6654]

Hi, where did you get that molding for the bumper ,from the dealer ?because I didn’t have that included in the package .Just trailer hitch,module ,harness wires.

[@AskTheCarExperts]

Hello, Yes all of these items where dealer ordered. The molding was not listed in the main instructions but was in the parts manual.

[@kamiladamczyk6654]

Hi, thank you very much for that. Do you know maybe the name of that part? How or part number do I need two moldings or one?

[@MarianP-sg9jq]

Could you please list parts number in description or comments? Especially wiring harness as it is not good viable on video ?

[@AskTheCarExperts]

Part numbers can vary depending on vehicle options. Your best bet would be to call your local dealer with your VIN to get the part number for your BMW.

[@Anderwist]

Where did you get hitch and harness? And how much was it?? Thanks ))))

[@AskTheCarExperts]

Hi Andy, It was purchased from my local dealer.

[@Anderwist]

@@AskTheCarExperts I see, what was the cost of everything?

[@AskTheCarExperts]

@@Anderwist That would be the cost at your local dealer. Not cheap :) 😀

[@osman3605]

cant you find a way to keep the kick feature , as the sensor is small cant be fit to the right

[@AskTheCarExperts]

Hi Osman, Not sure if that would be possible but I would be worried that it may trigger when you would not want it to. Like if a bike rack was installed. Could cause damage.

[@osman3605]

cant you keep the kick feature by placing the sensor to the right with a custom fitment?

[@AskTheCarExperts]

You could try but it usually is not enough to break the field. Also you wouldn't want it to accidentally activate when you don't want it to such as a biike rack installed.
