It sounds like you are looking for an adapter like the Curt 7-Way Trailer Adapter # C57003. This 7-Way connector will plug directly into your existing 7-Way socket so that it is able to recognize LED trailer lights. Factory tow package on many German vehicles like your BMW can have issues with LED trailer lights since they will draw far less power than standard incandescent bulbs. This adapter will essentially simulate increased power draw so the vehicle thinks there is incandescent lights on the trailer.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.
