We have a few different brands trailer wiring options for your 2012 BMW X5. The best option is the part # 119250KIT as it does not require any splicing into your vehicle wiring like the other kits do. Instead of that it uses sensors that attach to the wires.
All of the kits are universal style kits but this is the only one that does not require any hardwiring so it's my recommendation as the best.
I attached a link to a page that shows this kit installing on a similar 2013 BMW X5 like what you have as well.
