2 . 05 06 BMW X5 Receiver Trailer Hitch 13070 : eBay Motors (item 170459403209 end time Apr-13-10 18:10:56 PDT)

I see that 1 + 2 mount differently, could someone please tell me which would be more sturdy for the car?

Thanks

The 1st link is the one I was looking at, made by Uhaul. It's also the same one Weasel uses towing up to 3000lbs, but it flexes a little. Look at the links I posted IF you decide to get that one as I've found it for about $40 cheaper.

The 2nd link is for an 05 and up X5, so you need to compare apples to oranges. What year is your X5, then only look at the hitches that fit in your year range. When I did my search, I used the keywords "x5 hitch" then arranged them by cheapest to highest price and found the Uhaul one for $140.
