Question:
Hi, I noticed in the description for the Eco-Hi, BMW X5s with the back up sensors wont work. Does this mean I can only install the Draw-Tite or Curt models then? I really like the idea of the Eco better. Also, I have the M Sport package but not the real M5 Sport engine. Im assuming M Sport you mean the higher performance engine with a different exhaust? Mine has the M sport package which includes the look of an M but its really just the wheels, steering wheel and black chrome around the side glass. Not the high performance engine variety. Thanks for your time,

Expert Reply:
We have a version of the EcoHitch that fits your 2016 BMW X5 that was designed for versions of the vehicle that have the backup sensors with part # EH44FR. This would be your best option and gives you ability to remove lower hitch opening when not towing for a totally hidden look. Thanks for the picture of your vehicle too as that's enough for us to know that it is the correct body style for this hitch.
