Trailer is mine. I've got a half-baked idea on something I can attach that'll hold the chains off. If it turns out, I'll post pics.

And just think for my ford explorer it cost $25 for the ball and nut and took all but 30 seconds to install, wiring harness comes with the car. I just about fell back when I read here what it's going to take to add a hitch to my X. Jesus remove the bumper? $450 for the hitch wtf'

You are comparing a bumper hitch to a receiver hitch. Further, if you expect costs for your X5 to match your Explorer you've got the wrong vehicle.

My other piece of advice, is to paint all parts (even if new like mine) with a black rust paint coating so nothing get a chance to rust easily.

There are many parts in OE hitch. You need all of them - can you pull all parts? Then go for it. The list and pictures of parts involved are in this thread

Like the guys said above you really need to make sure all the parts are there. Is it a factory hitch? It seems odd that someone would take the time to remove one after it was put on. Its very involved and unless the car was being parted out they would have to source a lot of parts to put it back together again.
