Hitch install
Brand: Curt #13077 (bought from etrailer), class 3 hitch 2" receiver
Link:

Install time: 1 1/2 hours including a break to eat
Difficulty: 1-10 (10 being extremely difficult) - 1
Notes: I did not use the rivets that I drilled out. I used the push-in pins so if I needed to take the rear bumper off again, I can just pry the pin out and reuse. I will install the OEM trailer harness and 4 pin harness later. I'm still contemplating on cutting the bottom part of the bumper to fit the hitch. RIght now it has a slight bend.
Important to know: I first ordered the Drawtite hitch because it utilizes the OEM bumper bar once the hitch is installed but it does not fit the M X5 cars. It hits the exhaust tips.
