There's two options to add a 4-way wiring harness to your 2010 BMW X3 E83. There is not a custom fit harness that plugs in so both will require testing wires to get them set up. The main difference in the two harnesses is one clamps on without having to cut and splice wires and the other requires splicing. I have listed both options below:
Splicing Wires - Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C59236
Clamp On No Splicing Wires - ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 119250KIT
I have linked a couple of installation videos below so you can see the different methods in which these harnesses install.
