There is no ETA on this part. The following dealers may have 1 or 2 in stock, but you must call them.
There has been more than one supplier for the E53 hitch in North America.

For the OP, realize that the vehicle has been out of production for six years, and this wasn't a factory part, it was an aftermarket dealer-installed item. It doesn't meet the same supplier performance specifications as factory parts in terms of availability, etc.
