Correction: It's all the numbers actually, forgot that I cut out the other part numbers earlier.

Thank you for the part#'s. Will check it out.

One quick question if it was on a E53 no matter what year it should fit and wires plug in with no issues or modifications right? 99 - 06 E53 Body? I may have found one for from a earlier year 4.6i and mine is a 04 4.4i. Can someone verify that if that will bolt right up and the wiring as well.

Thanks

I guess you can cross reference the part numbers with vehicle year on realoem and see.

yes all e53's are the same. they come prewired to accept the module / wiring for the tow harness. everything bolts up the same, just make sure and grab all the brackets/bolts off the donor vehicle.

Just found this in a scrapyard (online) and was wondering if it seems to include everything (minus the bolts)? Does anyone know?

According to the breaker, this kit comes from a 3.0 2003.

This looks like the complete (as you noted without bolts) standard OEM European one (manufactured by westfalia).

Though it lacks the module (AHM - which can be found on ebay) and maybe you wil need some cable(s) depending on your wiring harness pre installed.

The OE hitch is mechanically the same across all X5 E53s but the electronic brake module will differ. From 2003 they used a different module than the earlier models.
