Which EcoHitch for a 2013 BMW X5 on a E70 Chassis w/ Back Up Sensors?
Question:
I see 2 eco hitch hidden hitch options for my 2013 bmw x5. One says it is designed for vehicles without a backup sensor and one says it is designed for vehicles with a backup sensor. Unfortunatley it also states that the one designed for those with a backup sensor is not intended for the E70 chasis x5. So, with an x5 that has a backup sensor and E70 chasis, which should I choose?

I checked with EcoHitch. You're going to want their item # 306-X7265 for your 2013 BMW X5 on an E70 chassis. We've had customers install this hitch with backup sensors with no issues.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 119250KIT and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
