The nuts included with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13077 for your 2008 BMW X5 are 18mm.

To complete the installation you will want to have an 8mm and 18mm socket, Ratchet wrench, torque wrench, 8" socket extension, prying tool, a pair of sheers or cut off tool to trim the rear bumper fascia, and a rivet gun to reinstall the bumper fascia.

I included a video of the # 13077 being installed on a 2008 BMW X5 and a link to the written instructions for you to take a look at.
