Question:
I am interested in installing a hitch on my 2015 BMW X5 335D. I was wondering if you have one that does not require any noticeable timing of the rear bumper cover. I would most likely mainly tow a jet ski with it. Thanks

For your 2015 BMW X5 you would want the trailer hitch part # 75600 that you referenced. This hitch will require some rear fascia trimming though. If you check out the install video you will see just how much.
The only other hitch we carry for your vehicle is the Curt part # 13077 which will also require rear fascia trimming.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you would want the part # 119250KIT as well.
