@e30cabrio

if you are refering just to the connectors themselves:

61131378138 - 12-pin connector
61131378136 - 12-pin recepticle

and the pins

61131376202 - pin-female no wire
61131376193 - pin-male no wire
Thanks! You are absolutely right about going OEM. I would recommend this to anyone - especially on the X5. This was truly designed to strengthen the car for the inertia of a load on the back. I could not even dream of drilling my sheet metal to mount a hitch or the rear subframe.

Funny thing is the night before, I saw an X5 with the Curt Hitch that has that perpendicular bar that has to be bolted behind the differential. Just did not look right to me.
