My 06 BMW X5 4.4 was received a Curt Hitch today. It is awesome. According to DIY Hitch Installation in X5 forum, it is difficult task. You definitely need two people to pull the bumper out and puts the bumper back in, it's heavy for me. I could not do it by myself, and I ask my friend, owner at Dave's body shop to help out. It took us 3 1/2 hour to install the Curt Hitch after market $177 including delivery to my house. 2006*BMW*X5*Draw-Tite, Reese, Hidden Hitch, Valley and Curt search with the*Hitch Hunter ™ by etrailer.com (800) 298-8924. I only need this hitch to mount my 2" Thule bike rack. I'm happy with Curt Hitch and the installation from Dave's body shop in Palo Alto/Mountain View. I just like to share my new Curt hitch X5 experience . When I bought my car in 06, the hitch installation was so expensive. So I skipped this BMW hitch and I intended to do DIY later. I have called all BMW in the bay area about BMW X5 hitch since last year, and learned that it's back order for 6 months. I can ot wait any more, I was a little skeptical about Curt Hitch after maket hitch. Somebody in the forum mentioned that the new Curt hitch for X5 is better made now. For carrying bike, Curt Hitch is excellent hitch, and it is cheaper than BMW hitch by far. Hitch and the cost of hitch installation are still less than $400. For those of you in the bay area, you can be confidence to have Curt hitch and installation at Dave's body shop. Enjoy your hitch.
