Question:
I am looking at part 75600 for my 2015 BMW X5. It says that I need different push pins as the ones in the kit do not work. Do you have any idea on part numbers or what to ask my bMW dealer for?

The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75600 is a fit for your 2015 BMW X5 as long as it isn't a Model M. You will need different pop rivets than the ones included since they changed them from 2011 models on, so I recommend asking the dealer for the plastic pop rivets for the rear wheel wells.
If you will be using this trailer hitch receiver for towing, I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT that allows you to capture the signal functions without splicing. It uses zero-contact-interface sensors. This wiring harness requires a power wire from your battery, and I've attached an article to assist you in running that power wire.
For a ball mount, I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black # BWTS10037B. This ball mount is adjustable to allow you to tow many trailers level. It has two hitch ball options, a 2 inch and a 2-5/16 inch to fit with most standard trailer couplers. This ball mount also has a unique stowable feature to give you a clean look when not in use and protect you from hitting your shins while loading and unloading when not in use.
