Expert Reply:
I do have a solution for you. The compatible EcoHitch for your 2017 BMW X5 depends on if you have the M performance model.
If you do not have the M performance model, you need the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2", part # SH85VR. This trailer hitch has a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs with the trailer hitch or 800 lbs with the ball mount. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 8,000 lbs.
With the M perfomance model you will need the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2", part # SH52VR. It has a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight of 6,000 lbs.
Do keep in mind these maximum weights are also dependent on your vehicle's tow rating. You can find those weights in your owner's manual and you should adhere to the lower weight amount between the trailer hitches and your vehicle.
I have included a product description link and a video of the hitch being installed on a 2017 BMW X5 below.
