I need to install a hitch on my x5 2001 3.0. The OEM's price is pretty outrageous.

Has anyone tried the one sold by Bavarian Auto Sports (like 400 bucks including the wiring kit). I heard that aftermarket ones can cause some damage in the car, but at over 1500 bucks that BMW charges (OEM part + labor), It is costing me more than the trailer I am purchasing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Paul
