I've been considering for installing hitch to my X5.
Searched for threads of installation but couldn't find anyone installing Euro hitch to US spec X5.
Great instructions here

Couple of questions has arise.
1. US OEM hitch comes with new Bumber Bar.
Is that so because the US hitch is different and the original Bumber Bar doesn't fit any more ? Would Euro hitch also need new Bumber Bar ?
2. Wiring: there seem to be several wiring instructions.
My X5 seem to have the plug for trailer hitch wiring but will the Euro wiring set work or do I need to have a big electrical work to get the trailer lights work according to Euro spec.
So has anyone installed the Euro hitch for US spec X5 ?
Please share your experience.
