According to Draw-Tite, their # 76226 Class III htich is a fit for all models of the 2020 BMW X3, including the M40i.

If you'll be using the hitch for towing, I'd recommend the # 119250KIT trailer wiring harness which doesn't require any wire cutting or splicing. I'd also recommend the # EBMK4 etrailer.com ball mount kit which includes a ball mount, a hitch pin and an interchangeable trailer ball system with 1-7/8 and 2 inch trailer balls.

I've linked to installation details for the hitch and wiring harness I recommended.
