Expert Reply:
The 2 options you have for installing a 2" trailer hitch on a 2020 BMW X1 includes the Curt # C13303 and the Draw-Tite # e93KR. The Curt hitch and the etrailer hitch have very similar installed. They are both rated 6 out of 10 for difficulty with a 1 hour estimated install time. I've attached a sample installation video for the Curt hitch that you can check out. They are very similar hitches.
One difference is their finishes. The etrailer # e93KR has a matte black finish and the Curt # C13303 has a glossy black finish. Also, the Curt hitch requires the use of a stabilizer strap # 18050, which is quite inconvenient. The etrailer hitch does not require the strap.

Very good explanation and I have decided to go with the Curt. I am hopeful that with the assistance of the video, I am able to get it installed next week.
