I reached out to my contact at Draw-Tite, and there is not a hitch compatible with your non-panoramic roof 2013 BMW X1. For you to carry bikes, I recommend using a trunk mounted bike carrier like the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH65JV which is confirmed to fit your vehicle. This bike rack carries 2 bikes similar to the platform bike racks you see in hitch mounts. It has the locks to deter theft and has road dampening technology built into the bike frame clamps that keep the bikes separated and secure.
I have linked the page to other trunk mounted bike rack options compatible with your X1.
