Hi Clif,

I checked with all of our hitch manufacturers and none have a hitch for your 2025 BMW X5 50E with the M-Line package, so the best thing I can offer to carry bikes and cargo is a roof rack along with roof bike racks. I know it's not the news you wanted to hear but I did want to give you the option. Your BMW X5 50E should have flush mounted rails (please double check to verify) and if so you can use the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack for Flush Rails # TH94KG.

This comes with everything you need to put the rack on your BMW with flush rails, and will allow you to use roof bike racks like the Thule ProRide XT # TH598004.
