I installed the BMW hitch myself, its easy just follow the steps.
4MoJo is right its easy to scratch the bumper cover. I tried to be careful but ended up with a couple of scratches.

Thanks everyone!!! Installed this weekend. Smooth install thanks to all the DIY info here. Used it with the BMW bike rack Sunday. Plan to use it to tow a small sailboat next season.

Did mine last weekend. I got an aftermarket square hitch type as the OEM cost is $1740 fitted in Australia. BMW say 2.5 hours to fit.

Anyway I got mine from Queensland tow bars (aka Tow master) also available from ARB 4x4 accessories if you live down under . Took me 4.5 hours to fit, having never removed anything off my X5 before so I had to workout a few things along the way.

I only tow a small off-road trailer 6x4 foot, maybe 2 twice a year....the extra $1300 odd was better off in my pocket.

BTW my tow bar came with full instructions and all the hardware.
