Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2014 BMW X5 35i Which Does Not Require Removal Of Impact Structure  

Published 08/10/2023

Question:

Are there any options for the 2014 BMW X5 35i no M package that do not require cutting the bumper and also do not require replacing the impact structure? It looks like the best options would be the Curt 13077, Draw-Tite 76903, or the Ecohitch X7403. Im ok with the receiver not being fully hidden as long as the cross bar is hidden.

Expert Reply:

The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75600 is going to be our closest receiver which meets your requirements on your 2014 BMW X5 35i. The Curt # 13077, Draw-Tite # DT36GR (76903), and EcoHitch # EH44FR (X7403) all require the removal of the impact structure which you do not want to remove. The Draw-Tite # 75600 does not require removal of the impact structure but still will require trimming of the rear fascia as all the receivers for your X5.

I recommend installing the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236 when you install the receiver. This will make it easier to access the tail light wiring when you already have the rear fascia removed.
