Features to know about

Clean Factory Look When You’re Not Carrying Gear: Completely Hidden Design

No one wants a bulky hitch changing the look of their ride. This Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver disappears when you’re not using it. The cross tube stays concealed behind the bumper, and the 2" receiver detaches with no tools required. When removed, there’s no trace left—just a clean, from-the-factory appearance that keeps your vehicle lines intact.

Quick Setup for Every Adventure: Tool-Free Detachable Receiver

Getting ready for a bike ride or loading up cargo shouldn’t take all afternoon. The stainless steel center block lets the 2" receiver click in place in seconds—no tools needed. When you’re done, unlock it, give the handle a twist, and store the receiver until next time. The included hitch plug keeps dirt and debris out of the opening so it’s ready to go whenever you are.

Strong, Safe Mounting for Accessories: Built for Racks and Carriers

This rack receiver is designed for hitch-mounted accessories only, with a 600 lbs maximum tongue weight rating. It’s perfect for bike racks or cargo carriers when you want to bring extra gear along. The durable stainless steel construction resists corrosion, and the integrated lock protects the receiver from theft. It also maintains your ground clearance and doesn’t interfere with foot-activated trunk sensors.

Simple Bolt-On Install Without Cutting or Drilling: Custom Fit and Solid Build

Installing this hitch is straightforward—it bolts directly to existing connection points with no drilling or welding required. The design protects your vehicle’s crumple zones and keeps everything tucked up high for a clean finish underneath. The black powder coat finish adds extra rust protection so it stays strong and looking good over time.

Fantastic. Perfect fit for a 2025 BMW X3 M50 (G45 Chassis). Instructions are clear and complete. Word of warning: when removing the two nuts holding each taillight assembly to the car body, once the nuts are free/loose, DO NOT drop them between the car frame and the molding/internal paneling. It’s a massive PIA to get them back.

  • Stealth Hitch SH59VR for 2025 BMW X3 M50 G45 New Generation
    Hi Rob, great question. I was able to confirm directly with Stealth Hitches that the part # SH59VR (Stealth part # SHR31022) is designed to fit the newer 2025 BMW X3, including the M50 xDrive on the G45 platform, so you can move forward with confidence that it’s the correct fit for your vehicle. I completely get wanting to be sure here, especially with BMW changing to the new G45 chassis and not wanting to go through a long install twice. The confusion you’re seeing in the reviews is...

    We have 2 different trailer hitch options that will work perfect for carrying a bike rack with your 2020 BMW X3 M30i and it really just boils down to what look you are shooting for.

    The Stealth Hitches are definitely a top of the line trailer hitch receiver that hides the trailer hitch completely when it is not in use on your 2021 BMW X3 due to the hidden crossbar design and removeable receiver opening, but you will need a different model hitch as the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH34VR you were looking at is only for the 2019-2021 BMW 3 Series Sedan.

  • Finding Someone to do Install of Stealth Hitch on 2020 BMW X3
    Since trailer hitch installs are pretty basic compared to what mechanics normally do on a regular basis any local mechanic near you with a good reputation will do a great job. When it's time to get the towing components needed you'd just then need the part # SH58VR. For a bike rack the Kuat NV part # NV22G is widely considered the best bike rack you can get that is loaded with features and is also the best looking option too.
