2 Series cargo box & hitch?

MartyMcFly88MPH · 09-22-2016, 12:45 AM

I just bought a 2015 M235i Xdrive today. I ski a lot and would like to get a cargo box on it. I haven't been able to find any pictures of this so far. Do any of you have a box? I'm not sure if they even work well, given how short the roof is.

I'll also be looking at getting a hitch for my mountain bike. Is the Curt hitch still working trouble free for those that have it?

The Curt hitch is a fine solution, you just need to keep in mind on the 2 series it will require trimming since it was originally designed for the F30 3 series bumper.

I have the Curt on my X3. Not sure about my 228ix with the Mpackage but guessing it would have to be trimmed.

In case anyone else is curious how the car looks with a box...

Now I just need to figure out how to stop the crossbars from whistling.

I have the Curt hitch on my 228 xdrive and we had to trim the bumper but it looks really good and is barely visible. I have a One up USA bike rack and it's awesome.
I posted photos of the final results a while back, you can probably still find it on this forum.

I actually went ahead and did that too. I posted in a different thread (maybe the one you're talking about) today. Mine they didn't trim but it pushes on the bumper, so I may have them trim it.

I just figured I'd post up how it looks with a box in case anyone else was curious like I was.
