Expert Answers about BMW X5
- Parts Needed to Tow Small Trailer with 2018 BMW X5 M Series
- For your 2018 BMW X5 M Series the hitch I recommend is the custom-fit Curt hitch part # 13077 because it has a 2 inch opening with plenty of capacity for a jet ski trailer and because it has a concealed cross tube which makes it a bit less visible than most hitches. I attached a picture of what the hitch will look like installed as well as an install video for more info as well.

- 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.

view full answer... - Recommended Towing Mirrors For 2021 BMW X5
- I recommend using the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Qty 2 # KS3891-2 instead of the # KS69ZR because they've got ratcheting straps that provide a bit tighter connection on the mirrors, which will help reduce vibrations on the road. They're both quality options, but I prefer the ratcheting straps on the # KS3891-2 to holding up to travel over time.
I've linked a short review video of these mirrors for you to check out.

The # 119190KIT is the correct 4-way kit you'd need as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2013 BMW X5
- In order to tow a trailer with a 2013 BMW X5 you'll need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75600 is a great option for a trailer hitch. The instructions do call for trimming but we have heard from many customers it's not required on most vehicles. The hitch should just push up on the bumper a bit if you choose not to trim.

view full answer... - Ball Mount Rise Recommendation for 2010 BMW X5 Towing 18 inch Tall Trailer Coupler
- From the top of the receiver opening down to the ground will be about 13-3/4 inches when you install the Draw Tite hitch part # 75600 on your 2010 BMW X5. So you will need a ball mount with about a 4 inch rise.
The Curt Ball mount # C45070 would be perfect for that. For a 2 inch ball you would want the part # 63845 or for 2-5/16 inch ball part # 63847.
For trailer wiring you then would want the part # 119250KIT which I attached an install video for.
