Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75371 does in fact require drilling during the installation process. You will need to drill two holes into the bumper in order to support the hitch at the middle bracket. I have provided a link to the installation instructions for this to give you a clearer idea of what this involves. The drilling steps are on page 2.
The other trailer hitch available for your 2008 BMW X3 is the Curt Class III # 13573 which does not require drilling. However with the Curt Class III Hitch, you would have to permanently remove the bumper beam on your vehicle.
