2020 BMW X5 M Sport Trailer Hitch Recommendation
Question:
Can you explain why exactly this trailer hitch cannot be used on an M sport X5? I have examined my 2020 X5 M sport model, and compare the rear lower bumper area to a non M sport model, and they’re very similar if not identical. If it’s just trimming the facia that’s necessary, I’d like to know if this hitch receiver could be actually installed on an 2020 M sport X5.

When we've reached out to Draw-Tite in the past about the Trailer Hitch # 76288 fitment on a BMW X5 with the M Sport package they've referenced excessive fascia trimming and the muffler as being the cause for a non-fitment.
Because of this I recommend going with the Stealth Hitches alternative for your 2020 BMW X5 M Sport which comes in the following packages:
- For Carrying Accessories # SH89VR
- For Towing and Carrying Accessories # SH25VR
