Helpful Expert Reply:
You are correct that you will need to trim the rear fascia to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13114 on your 2009 BMW X6.
Curt does not provide a template for the cut , and says that you will need to mark the fascia with the hitch installed, and trim until it does not contact the hitch. Taking your time will allow you to complete the install without issue.
If you are planning on towing with your X6 you will also need trailer wiring # 119250KIT, and a ball mount, hitch ball, and hitch pin and clip which can all be found in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900
I included videos for all of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
