The best class III hitch for your 2017 BMW X5 is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e84AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your BMW with included hardware. It fits all models of the 2017 X5 including the M Performance and Sport Package.
There should be a button that turns off the detection system so you don't have that annoying alarm going off. I recommend checking your manual for towing procedures. Most newer vehicles go into quite a bit of detail on what all you need to do plus... view full answer...
When Stealth Hitch did the engineering work and testing for the # AABRKT-3056 hitch, they determined that the weight capacity of the hitch was 8000 lbs. This could be limited by the capacity of the vehicle, if its less. When I looked through the owner's manual, 7209 lbs was the highest towing capacity I saw listed.
It's not uncommon for a trailer hitch to have a higher capacity than the vehicle, in fact it happens frequently.
As long as the fully loaded trailer weight is less than the... view full answer...
Wheels, like the Dexstar Wheel # AM20539 that you referenced, actually have a weight rating as opposed to a psi rating. Tires have a psi rating because it corresponds to the weight rating for the tire.
For example, the Kenda Karrier # AM10303 is a load range E tire meaning that it has a max load of 2,830 lbs at 80 psi. The aluminum wheel that you referenced, part # AM20539, has a weight capacity of 2,860 lbs. Since you will always be limited by your lowest rated component, if either... view full answer...
Square mounting holes are usually associated with carriage bolts which have a square shoulder on them which prevents them from spinning while the nut is tightened.
On the Angle bracket # T4821800 that you referenced it looks like the round hole side of the bracket is used to attach to the actuator and the side with the square holes would attach to a portion of the trailer frame. view full answer...
No, it does not but I have one that does. To add a hitch to your 2022 BMW X5 45e M-Sport you will need the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit item # SH25VR if you plan on towing or item # SH89VR if you're just going to be using the hitch for accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers. These are the only two options that will fit your BMW.
I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get this hitch set up. view full answer...
I checked with Stealth Hitches and the correct one for your X5 xDrive 35i M Sport is item # SH79VR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your BMW with included hardware.
The Stealth Hitches item # SH79VR includes a 2" receiver that can only be used for accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. If you are looking for a tow capable hitch then you are going to want the Stealth Hitches item # SH85VR. This hitch includes the towing kit which gives you a 7-way connector and a ball mount.... view full answer...

I've got some good news! The head of the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17499 only weighs about 32-1/2lbs, so it's going to be quite a bit lighter than the heavier duty WD systems. The TruTrack systems do not come with a hitch ball included so you would need one with a 1-1/4" shank diameter like the # A-90 (2" hitch ball) or # 19286 (2-5/16" hitch ball) to complete the setup. view full answer...
The front to back distance of the holes on the etrailer hitch # e98906 is 1-1/4 inches, the side to side dimension between the holes closest to the hitch opening is 3-7/8 inch and then the distance between the other set of holes is 4-1/8 inch. view full answer...
The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # SH85VR has a max tongue weight of 600 lbs when using the 2" receiver. This means the hitch will be able to handle your motorcycle and carrier without any issues. It looks like the 2016 BMW X5 xDrive35i tongue weight capacity is also enough to handle this weight but I recommend verifying this with the owner's manual. You will be limited by whichever capacity is lower.

With the Stealth hitches like the # SH25VR that fits your 2022 BMW X5 that comes with the ball mount there aren't any other options for ball mounts that would have different rises or drops. There is only the one setup that can be used and when we installed it we found that from the ground to the top of the hitch ball measures 19 inches which is a very common height that works really well for most trailers. If you measured from the ground to the bottom lip of the trailer coupler when level... view full answer...
Though there is no drilling required for the installation of the Draw-Tite # 76288 on your 2021 BMW X5, it will be one of the more difficult hitches to install. The hitch itself will weigh right at 40 pounds, so it isn't overly heavy, especially if you have a helping hand. The difficult part has to do with what will need to be removed in order to get the hitch in place, and what will then need to be trimmed to reinstall everything.
With that being said, the hitches that are available for... view full answer...
When we installed the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH25VR on a 2019 BMW X5 in our shop we found it to have approximately 11-1/2" of ground clearance with the receiver tube installed. This can vary from vehicle to vehicle depending on tire sizes and trim level. And when you remove the receiver tube it will not affect your ground clearance.
I recommend getting the Carrying Case # 391CASEC to hold the ball mount and receiver connections. This will ensure... view full answer...
The Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite item # DT36GR is only listed as fitting the standard model of the 2010 BMW X5 because of the rear fascia and trim added to the rear of the M models. You would have to make significant cuts in your rear bumper area to get the receiver to attach to the rest of the hitch.
The only hitch that is confirmed to fit the 2010 BMX X5M is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver item # SH29VR. view full answer...
I have a solution for you but the Yakima Halfback has been discontinued. Instead, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack item # Y02634 for your 2015 BMW X5. The only difference between the FullBack 2 and the HalfBack 2 is that the FullBack comes with an integrated cable lock and locking strap that deters the theft of both your bikes and the rack itself. This two bike rack has a 35 lbs per bike capacity.

I checked with Yakima and yes, you can definitely swap out crossbars to adjust the look. The 50" Yakima JetStream Crossbars item # Y00425 will work with the legs and fit kit for the recommended Yakima roof rack set up we have listed for your 2023 X5. I have listed the other parts you will need below including the 60" crossbars:
Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2 item # Y00426
SightLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 item # Y64AR

The short answer is yes, it does; according to my research your 2021 BMW X5 can have a towing capacity of a maximum of 7,200 lbs depending on the model and how it is equipped, which is below the 8,000 lb capacity of the Stealth hitch that fits your '21 X5, which is the following part

The Stealth Hitches that fit your 2022 BMW X5 will have a 600 lb tongue weight rating and an 8,000 lbs tow weight rating. If you are planning on using this for accessories, like a bike rack or cargo carrier, then you need the kit # SH89VR which comes with the receiver only. If you are planning on doing some towing as well then you need the kit # SH25VR instead which comes with the receiver for accessories as well as wiring and a ball mount that you'll need to use for towing.

When we installed the Stealth Hitch part # SH56VR on a 2016 BMW X5 we measured 14 inches from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground so from the bottom of the hitch it would measure right at 11-1/2 inches. view full answer...
