I never cared for the gaping hole the OEM tow hitch specified to be cut out of the rear fascia. So I decided to make my own smaller cutout and customized trim kit. I did re-orient the face plate for the plug switch to access it from underneath the car. Attached are photos for how it turned out. I couldn't have been happier.

But...as things would have it, I'm doing a lease buy-back with BMW on this X5 and had to remove my customized tow hitch and bumper. The tow-hitch will go on my 2011 X5, but I'm selling my custom bumper I created for anyone who wants to use it for their pre-LCI X5.

I'm selling the bumper, with all it's love, sweat and tears, for $350. I'd prefer to sell to a southern CA buyer to avoid shipping, but we'll see how that goes.

PM me if interested.
