Expert Reply:
I have another option for you, but the EcoHitch # 306-x7275 you were looking at is only confirmed to fit the 2013-2017 BMW X3 and will not fit your 2018 BMW X3 M40i.
Instead I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76226 which is confirmed to fit your 2018 X3 M40i, has a hidden crosstube leaving only the receiver itself visible, and has a 750lb tongue weight rating making it a perfect choice for carrying E-bikes on a bike rack.
If you do not already have a e-bike rack I recommend taking a look at the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S94FR which can accommodate two bikes weighing up to 70lbs each with tires up to 3" wide. If your bikes have fat tires you will need the # S64679 which will fit tires up to 5" wide.
I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
