This fits: 2010 BMW 535i GT All
However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the BMW 525, 528, 530, 535, 545 and 550 (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)
Includes installation hardware

The kit includes 4 square hole spacers (CM-SP4, 0.250 x 1.50 x 3.00"), 4 Grade 8 serrated flange nuts (1/2-13 UNC, part 20-00062), and 4 Grade 8 carriage bolts (1/2-13 UNC, 1-3/4", part 10-10272).

Yes, the spare tire must be removed before installation. This is listed as a requirement on the manual.
If an underbody panel is present, it must be removed, trimmed accordingly, and then re-installed. Temporarily remove all items from the trunk prior to installation.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill 4 holes using a 17/32" drill bit. An angle drill is recommended to ease installation. After drilling, use silicone caulk to seal the holes from exhaust fumes and water.

Non-trailer loads can be carried, but they must be supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This helps maintain the integrity and safety of the hitch.
The warranty is voided by alteration to, misuse of, or improper installation of the product. Additionally, failure to properly support non-trailer loads with auxiliary stabilizing straps voids the warranty.
