When you actually put in the year and model - in my case 2003 X5 4.4iS - this is what comes up. It's not an OEM item and I am not sure what to make of it:

The hitch receiver part number is likely being used as an equivalent in this case. The good news is that they have the OE electrical connection kit for those that need it.

Hard to tell from the part numbers without the pictures, but I would guess no. There are two frame strengtheners (and the list doesn't indicate 2). There is the receiver itself, and the bumper insert that strengthens the bumper since it no longer has the shock absorbers. I think the carrier insert refers to the bumper insert, which would be required in the event of bodywork involving a bumper replacement.

I found the reinforcement on eBay:

The shock absorbers that are originally mounted attach to the old bumper carrier and hold up the bumper. The reinforcement inserts replace those shocks. The new receiver now holds up the bumper, and matches up to the new bumper insert.
All this means that if you take the shocks out, there will be nothing to hold up the bumper. You don't just need the inserts, you need the hitch, and the bumper insert. It all fits together. Unless you use the inserts and custom fabricate a bumper support.

that connector on the last picture is for the hitch electronics - this particular harness runs from that spot to the battery compartment, where a same connector is fitted, and a trailer module would be plugged in (battery compartment)... the one on the picture connects to the harness that comes from the plug by the hitch and is fed through the grommet hole - the hitch harness has a built-in grommet already...
