I did not have any clearance problems with the Curt hitch and the PDC.
I have an '05 sport.

well ups just delivered this thing to me @ work , im surprised cause i ordered it online sun nite @9pm and s+h was only $7.49 :wow:

so i only got the hitch , the wiring is set to be here on thurs anyway tomorrow is a snow day here in ny so im not goin in to work and i already called my cousin at the indie shop to let him know about my install for the mornin !!

i'll keep you guys posted !!

Cobra94563, Good to hear you didn't have the same clearance issue I had. I guess it may be a hair different for the facelifted X's, Or maybe different for the 4.6is rear fascia? Either way, if I'm the only poor fool who had clearance issues then take it for the better.

Intresting news
 

so the install went off without a hitch !! haha couldnt resist !!

only prob is that my pdc isnt working at the moment , we never checked it after we put the bumper back on !! i noticed it this morn as i 1st got in , i get a loud weird beep from the rear and the pdc button just blinks !!

anyway the hitch is pretty serious , that thing aint goin anywhere !! i was there all day yesterday for the install and even helped out a bit aswell ! it looked pretty similar to the job we did on my old 4.6 w the oem hitch only diff was that we didnt replace the bumper support , we just put it back in !!

im feelliin pretty confident that this hitch will suits my and many others needs !! should get the wiring today / tomorrow and will install and fix pdc on sat !!

NEIL....

:thumbup:

The one thing I noticed is how large the bumper cut-out is for the hitch.
So I trimmed the cover and put it back and I think it looks much better, myself.

(Unfortunately, I think I trimmed more than needed on the left side. I ordered another for $20 and will redo it.) That is the way I'm going to go. I wonder what others have done and if you did trim it, post a pix, pls.

Looking forward to pics and your feedback on the wiring install. I'm not in immediate need of a hitch, but would certainly like one in the future. Wonder if BMW will ever come through with new OEM hitch kits again?

Weasel, do you have the part number of the 90-degree PDC sensors you used in case others need to do the same?

nah i left the cover off. it looks the same as it did on my 4.6 so i was ok w that !! i was trying to take pics this morn but my camera died !!

we were thnkin about trimming but decided to not !!

I didn't keep the packaging the sensors came in with the #s, but any competent parts counter personnel can find them for you. ;)

Wiring
 

Thanks for this great post!

Really looking forward to the pictures and more importantly I can't wait to hear how that wiring harness worked out?

I have made my mind up on the Curt hitch, but really not sure on what the right wiring is, so if your set up works I'll buy the same stuff.

Thanks again,
Scott
