The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch # 306-X7265 is designed to fit the 2013-2018 BMW X5. Your 2019 BMW X5 is a new design and build.

For your X5 I recommend the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH25VR. This is a truly stealth hitch as there is no visible receiver tube when it is removed. Included in this kit is a 2" receiver for your bike rack or cargo carrier and a 2" ball for towing. Also included is all the wiring required for a 7-way trailer connection.

Linked below is a very detailed video of the installation on a 2020 BMW X5 with the same XDrive 40i trim that you have.
