x4life - The Bavarian Autosports hitch is the Curt hitch....
This is the e-mail i got back from them asking what hitch they sell: "Thank you for your inquiry. The hitch we sell is the Curt hitch. They do not offer a wire harness, and as you are probably aware BMW has not had these available for quite some time now. This hitch attaches like the factory one between the unibody and the bumper support brackets. We have sold well over 150 of these and we have yet to hear of one damaging a customer's vehicle. But this hitch is not rated for the full 6000 pound tow weight that BMW says the X5 can handle. And I'm sure that if you exceeded the 500 pound tongue weight rating or jerked a fully loaded trailer like I have seen many novices do it would be possible to do some damage. This is a unibody vehicle after all, not a true body on frame truck. Both the BMW factory hitch as well as the Curt hitch are made of far stronger steel than what they are attached to. Ken Brown Bavarian Autosport Web Services 275 Constitution Avenue Portsmouth, NH 03801 800-535-2002"

Check with Bavarian's website. Notice the quotes. I am not with them. That was Bavarian's response to my question asking, "what hitch they sell."

It may be possible that the hitches are available again. I called BMW of Bloomfield this morning and they still had two left. I ordered one of them online. However, in the meantime I got a shipping confirmation from Tischer BMW on the hitch I ordered from them last July! I cancelled my order from Bloomfield so there may be one available again from there. They said they have received a lot of calls on E53 hitches today. Also, Bloomfield said they are charging $550 shipped, although the web order shows it as $430 w/ shipping.

This is the response from BMWNA
"Thank you for contacting BMW of North America, LLC regarding a trailer hitch for your BMW X5. I was sorry to read of your concerns and I hope the following information fully addresses any issues you may have. BMW does not offer an estimated timeline on parts availability. There are many factors such as BMW center inventory, vendor supply, international shipping, and US customs inspections that determine parts delivery timelines. Rest assured that we are working diligently towards making the hitch available as soon as possible. You will find that the parts manager at your BMW center is the best resource for the most up-to-date information on your part. We are sorry if this is disappointing information for you. If you have any further comments or questions, please respond to this e-mail or contact the Customer Relations and Services Department at 1-800-831-1117, Monday through Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time. Again, thank you for contacting BMW. Sincerely, Darlene Hawley Customer Relations and Services Representative"
