We do have one hitch available that is a fit for your 2021 BMW X3 M, that is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH59VR. This hitch is completely hidden and has a detachable receiver that can be removed when not in use. It has a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs which will be great for carrying your bike rack. This hitch cannot, however, be used for towing.

If you would like to do some towing in the future, I recommend the Stealth Hitches # SH45VR. This kit comes with the hitch as well as the # SH58VR towing kit which will allow you to tow with the hitch. It also has a 7-way wiring harness. The kit could always be added on later if you decide you need it.
