Yes, the two trailer hitches we carry that will fit to your 2003 BMW X5 are the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13162 and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame trailer hitch receiver # 75492. I recommend the Draw-Tite hitch it will be easier to install I have a link to the installation of the Draw-Tite hitch. If this is for towing trailers you will need a wire harness like the Curt 4-Pole vehicle wiring harness with mounting bracket # C58345 and a hitch ball mount and ball like the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45534. We also offer bike racks like the Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Rack # S63365 and cargo carriers like the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18145
