X5M trailer hitch cover

peter91118 · 12-07-2015, 05:35 PM

The new truck has a trailer hitch. It doesn't look that great from the rear.

Has anybody found a cover or something to 'complete' the rear bumper when not towing?

I've been looking at these and am wondering if i can just run the Carbon diffuser and switch to this when i'm in need to tow.

That would be sweet if it fit but it looks like the hitch protrudes out past the back of the bumper a little too much.

Unfortunately I cant find any picture of X5's with hitches and a diffuser.

Its too bad they didnt conceal the hitch like the E53's

Get the exucuhitch, it mounts vertical and can be concealed with a new diffuser

The OEM looks the worst b/c it requires cuts to the bumper. Execuhitch is a good solution if you haven't installed your hitch yet.
