E70 X5 M Sport Package OEM Tow hitch Install.

[Dallas13]

Anyone with an X5 with the M sport package (ours is a 2013) have a OEM trailer hitch installed? Do they have to replace the back bumper trim or is it cut and modified? Thanks

I have a 2011 Sport 50i and installed an invisihitch (execuhitch). No visible cutting involved. Just a small part of the bottom of the bumper fascia. It's not a cheap set-up, but highly recommended if you'd like to maintain the stock look of the car.

Stock BMW set up is a cut/trim.

As stated above, look at invisihitch.com

Understand that beside the hitch, you need the BMW wiring harness (DO NOT use any other harness) AND you need a electric trailer brake controller.

Lots of threads around on this....
