So me and a fellow X5 world member are planning to do a DIY tow hitch kit install together on both our rides. FWIW, I'm am mechanically inept on a car but sure can remodel a house close to a pro. The instructions seem pretty straightforward. Just short of a set of jackstands for the exhaust and a movers blanket or 2 to protect the bumper ( I'm a detailing fanatic), see the pic below. I think the only thing I may need to add just to make things easier on the plastic nuts is a set of nut screwdrivers. The articles states 4-5 hrs rougly per install. Hopefully the 2 of us can get both cars done in 7 hrs .
Does my tool set look complete ?
