Yes, we do offer a hidden hitch that will fit your 2023 BMW X5 M Sport model. For you I recommend the stealth hitch # SH25VR. This hitch features a removable receiver, so the hitch will be completely hidden when not in use. The hitch itself is rated for up to 8,000 lbs towing and 600 lbs tongue weight. In other words this will be more than strong enough for a kayak trailer and a bike rack. Even if you have 4 larger, heavier bikes there will be no issues.

It is important to note that this hitch comes with its own ball mount attachment. The included 2" receiver is not designed for trailer towing. This would only be used for your bike rack. When towing a trailer you must use the included stealth hitch ball mount attachment.

I have linked our install video below if you want to take a look. Installation requires temporary removal of the bumper and permanent removal of the impact structure. Not to underestimate your technical abilities, but we do recommend having this hitch installed professionally.
