We do offer several 3 bike trunk mounted carriers that will fit your 2007 BMW X5, I have provided a link to these options for you.
I would like to caution you that most of our bike carriers are compatible with vehicles that either do not have a rear spoiler or have a rear spoiler that can support the weight of a trunk mounted bike rack. I would advise that you check to see if your spoiler is metal or plastic. It is possible that plastic spoilers could be damage when using a trunk mounted bike rack, due to the straps mounting over the spoiler. Please check the possible mounting position and ensure that there would not be any vehicle damage due to mounting the bike rack.
For the bike racks that are considered a fit for your vehicle, I would recommend the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH78VR. This rack is a trunk mount bike rack that will fit your vehicle. The HideAway anti-sway cradles on this bike rack are equipped with road-dampening technology (RDT), that provides additional cushion and help in absorbing harsh road shock while transporting your bikes. This rack also features a locking cable that allows you to lock your bikes to the bike rack. I also recommend a locking strap # TH533 that can be used to secure the rack to your vehicle.
Another beneficial feature of this bike rack is that the support arms are independently adjustable and this makes it easier if you are carrying any alternative frame, womens, or childrens bikes. This improves ground clearance if the bikes can be carried in a level position.
I have included a link to product mentioned above for your reference.
