We do have the perfect option for an all-in-one towing set up for your 2021 BMW X5 that includes everything you will need for towing - the hitch, wiring, and ball mount. The best option for all of this in one is from Stealth Hitches:
- Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver with Towing Kit # SH25VR
The Stealth Hitches # SH25VR gives you a hitch that allows you to use the included ball mount for towing (as well as a rack receiver if you want to use it for accessories). The hitch itself is completely hidden and you can simply insert the ball mount or rack receiver when you want to use them, and remove them when you aren't so your BMW completely retains its factory appearance.
The included wiring kit of the # SH25VR will give you a 7-way trailer connector as well so if your trailer has electric brakes you can use a brake controller such as the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180.
