Yes, the install of the Draw Tite hitch part # 75600 that you referenced on your 2014 BMW X5 does require some minor fascia trimming.
I attached an install video for this hitch that shows the trimming as well as a diagram I took from the install instructions that shows this as well. view full answer...
As long as your BMW X5 has cross bars, that run from driver to passenger side that are spread between 20 inches to 37 inches apart, then, the Thule Canyon XT Roof Mounted Cargo basket # TH859XT should fit. The wind fairing is made of plastic. I have included a video review of the basket below. view full answer...
I can certainly help you out. The TW is the tongue weight. This is the weight of the trailer at the coupler that attaches to the ball mount on the trailer hitch. It should be 10 to 15 percent of the GTW or gross trailer weight. The gross trailer weight is the total weight of the trailer.
Weight distribution is a system that installs on the trailer frame and the trailer couples to a special shank on the trailer hitch. The spring bars that come with a weight distribution system take some... view full answer...
The good news is you can add a 7-way and brake controller to your 2010 BMX X5, but there isn't a way to do it without wiring. That said, we can get you the kit with the least amount of wiring possible, and you will be able to do that with a wireless brake controller. The first thing you will need is the wiring kit, the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L.
This kit includes the 7-way and rest of the hardware needed to add a wireless brake controller,... view full answer...
For a 50 mm hitch ball like you need for your European Thule Easy Fold XT you'd want the Brophy Hitch Ball part # EH53C-C. Then for a ball mount the Draw Tite part # BWBMHD30210 would work great if you had a 2 inch hitch installed like the Draw Tite part # 76288 that is a confirmed fit for your 2022 BMW X5. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75600 for your 2018 BMW X5 does not have a designated mounting location for your 4-way trailer connector. So, for the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT which is a confirmed to fit option. You can run the 4-way connector out the same bumper hole as the hitch or create a separate hole.
My recommendation is either use the Hopkins Knockout... view full answer...
Thank you for your purchase from etrailer of the Upgraded Heavy Duty ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector # C59496.

This can be a fairly common issue with trailers that have LED lights being towed with a vehicle that also uses LED lights. The higher amperage being pushed through the wiring harness can cause lights to pulse and is usually a pretty easy fix. Multiple lights are generally installed to a trailer with a single ground source. With your situation, you will need to have a dedicated ground for each light. This should cause the run off to dissipate into the frame and solve the pulsing issue. view full answer...
I recommend the Draw Tite Class III Max, part # 75600 for your 2017 BMW X5. The installation for the hitch is rather involved, so I'd recommend contacting local BMW certified body shops for assistance with installing the hitch.
Reply and let me know a little more about the bikes that you're looking to carry and I can make a more direct recommendation about what bike racks would be a good fit. view full answer...
Getting the running lights to work would require attaching the correct wire on the trailer wiring harness you are using to the correct wire on the 2005 BMW X5. It will be very similar to the video I have linked showing a typical installation of wiring harness # 119250KIT.
You will need to either use the included circuit tester with the wiring harness or # PTW2993 if you need one. Then test the taillight wiring to find the correct wire for the running light circuit. If you do have power... view full answer...
For your 2022 BMW X5 with the M Sport package we have the Stealth hitch part # SH25VR as a confirmed fit that would work great. This is a totally invisible hitch that comes with everything needed to tow like trailer wiring and a ball mount attachment. If instead you were wanting to just carry a bike rack or cargo carrier you'd want the # SH89VR which only comes with the hitch opening portion. view full answer...
The Right Replacement Endcap # TH1500052334 and Left Replacement Endcap # TH1500052333 are the correct parts for the Thule AeroBlade Edge Crossbar TH7603B that fits your 2016 BMW X5.
The Thule Change Key # 853-1251 is needed to move any Thule one key lock cylinders you may have from your old endcaps to the new endcaps. view full answer...
The 2012 BMW X5 has a rated towing capacity of 6000-lbs according to my research and for this vehicle we offer several Class III hitches (viewable on the link provided) that share this same maximum towing capacity, along with a tongue weight limit of 600-lbs. Note that these hitches do not fit the M model. You'll want to be sure that your fully-loaded boat/trailer does not exceed the towing or tongue weight capacities of either the vehicle or the hitch (your hitch should have a sticker... view full answer...
Thule does list the Passage 2 # TH910XT as a fit for the 2010 BMW X5. i have included a link to a video review and a link to the instructions for this rack for you to view.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight a cross (like a traditional mens bike) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and provide better ground clearance. I have included a link to a video that shows how the... view full answer...
Yes, for your 2019 BMW X5 I highly recommend the Yakima FullBack 2-Bike Rack # Y02634 or the 3-Bike version # Y02633. I verified with Yakima that this is confirmed to fit your X5.
This is an excellent trunk-mount carrier that features SuperCush anti-sway cradles and ratcheting straps to hold the bikes at 3 different point for an extremely stable ride and rubber pads on all the contact points to prevent any scratches on the BMW. Integrated locks are also included to help protect your investments.... view full answer...
If your surge brake coupler is equipped with an electric lockout solenoid, the 7-way trailer connector included with the Stealth Hitch # SH25VR will actuate the lockout, as long as the purple wire for the 7-way is tapped into the vehicle's reverse lamp circuit as outlined in the linked installation instructions. This assumes your boat trailer uses a 7-way trailer connector. If the trailer use a 5-pole connector, you can use an adapter like part
# A57WB.

It sounds like the running light pin is not providing enough power for the three cameras. You might need to introduce the 7-Way Vehicle Power Adapter w/ Power Switch for Furrion RV Observation Camera, part # FR87PR, into your electrical system. It is designed to connect the trailer wiring from your tow vehicle's 7-way trailer connector. It will provide your cameras extra power. This should eliminate the intermittent power issues you are having with your camera.

For your non-standard 2021 BMW X5 tire size of 315/30-22, BMW does not recommend using tire chains with these specific sizes. However, many car manufacturers make these kinds of recommendations in order to wash their hands of any liability if any damage occurs to components inside the wheel wells.
With that being said, the absolute safest (and only) option we carry for your tire size is the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit XXL # TH2004565767.... view full answer...
We can definitely help set you up. I am not sure exactly what you are planning on towing, so there are a few things we will want to consider in order to make sure you are getting the right parts. Specifically, we want to make sure that you are getting the correct trailer wiring to match your trailer. Most small trailers will use a 4-flat connection, while larger trailers with electric brakes will require a 7-way plug and brake controller. We also want to make sure that said trailer will... view full answer...
