On Both the Curt trailer hitch # C13140 and Draw-Tite hitch # 75761 the faces of the receivers are just about flush with the rear of the vehicle. Take a look at the installation videos I have linked so you can see how each hitch looks on a 2015 BMW X1.
Please note that the trailer hitches only fit models of the 2015 BMW X1 that have the panoramic sunroof.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
And for trailer wiring you can use # C59236 to add a 4-Way flat trailer connector to the rear of your X1.
