It is bolted to the subframe of the x5 There is an extremely heavy duty box frame that runs right behind the rear differential which you drill a hole into and then use a special bolt which expands when you torque it the first time like a pop rivet and then you retorque it with a 1/2" Bolt.

Any downward force would be transfered very evenly with the mount. I believe the shear strength of the bolts does matter, unless you think the rear frame is going to rip off?
