Thanks for reaching out!
While we definitely have a wiring harness that fits your 2022 BMW X5, unfortunately none of them are plug and play so you'll need to get at your wiring.
I recommend going with the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT because it pulls power from your vehicle battery and uses clamps to "sense" when to send power to your trailer light circuits. Since there is no splicing required you don't have to worry about damaging the OEM wiring on your vehicle.
If you're more concerned about the wiring being cost-effective then the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter Kit # C56190KIT is what you'll want to go with. This splices into your wiring instead of using clamps that sense when power is sent.
Attached are installation videos of these wiring kits on a 2017 X5 for you to check out.
