Expert Reply:
The installation of the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Class III Trailer Hitch, # 75600, will be the same on the 2013 BMW X5 as it is on the 2011 BMW X5. These vehicles are part of the same generation of the X5 and BMW did not make very many changes.
I have attached the installation instructions and our installation video on a 2011 model for you to check out. You should have no problem following our video when installing this hitch on your X5.
One thing to keep in mind when installing this hitch is that you will need to remove 6 plastic push rivets to remove the rear bumper fascia. We have found that the replacement plastic push rivets included with this hitch do not fit on some X5s after 2010. You can attempt to use the included replacement rivets, but you must use rivet gun designed for plastic rivets. If the included rivets do not fit, replacement push rivets must be obtained from a BMW dealer.
