The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receive part # 76288 which is a fit for a 2019 BMW X5 (Non M-Sport) will sit directly below the rear bumper. I don't have any measurements or photos yet as we have not yet had a chance to install this but it should be almost resting on the rear bumper fascia. This will make for the best ground clearance possible.
