Expert Reply:

As long as your 2021 BMW X5 M50i does not include the M Sport package you will be able to install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76288 to tow your car hauler. If you do have the M Sport package you will need the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH25VR. If you prefer to have a stealth appearance this will also fit models without the M Sport Package. The Stealth kit includes a 2" receiver for hitch mounted accessories and a separate 2" ball mount. It also includes the wiring needed to install a 7-way trailer connector which is hidden behind the rear fascia. If your trailer uses electric brakes you will also need a Brake Controller # RED52VR.

If you choose to use the Draw-Tite # 76288, you will also need the wiring which is separate from the receiver. First you will need the Upgraded Heavy Duty ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59496 to tie into the tail lights on your X5. Then the Installation Kit # ETBC7 will provide you with the additional wiring needed to install the Brake Controller # RED52VR and charge line for the 7-way.
