We have a hitch that fit your 2017 BMW X5 M Sport but the # 13077 only fits the M models of the 2017 BMW X5. I believe the rack dealer local to you might have confused the difference between M models and M Sport models.

So for a hitch that does fit we have the Stealth hitch part # SH79VR which can have the lower hitch opening totally removed when not in use.
