My 2001 X5 has an aftermarket Draw-Tite hitch installed, and it looks unlike the one shown by the OP. It sticks out past the bumper fascia, so it could not utilize the "cover" to hide it.

Mine came off Ebay, installed by the previous owner, but it is the same as the hitch on Etrailer. There's a similar one by Curt on Etrailer, too.

Both of those hitches have a prominent brace underneath, which isn't obvious on the junkyard photo. Perhaps it's a custom-made hitch?
