What Are My HItch Options For A BMW X5

Question:

I have the M Sport Package. I see that you recommend 2 different hitches one being a stealth hitch . This will be for a bike rack, not towing. Do you have any photos of what the non stealth looks like when installed . Im trying to evaluate the pros cons of the difference in price.

Your vehicle is only compatible with the Stealth branded racks. We have two options, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit, part # SH25VR and the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver, part # SH89VR . The hitch receivers are exactly the same, it is the accessories that come with the rack that are different. That accounts for the price difference. Since you are only interested in carrying bikes and not towing the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver would be your best option. I have included a video of the installation below.
