Hello Darin, thanks for reaching out. We do indeed offer a trailer hitch for your 2015 BMW X5 40i M Sport model. What I recommend is the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e84AR. This has a 2" receiver and is rated for up to 6,000 lbs towing or 600 lbs tongue weight.

It is important to note that the bumper will need to be full removed during installation. It will then need to be trimmed prior to being reattached. If your vehicle has OEM tow hooks, then will no longer be usable. I have included a link to our installation video below.

@Darin In that case you will want the Curt hitch # C85VV. There is a Stealth Hitch also available, part # SH25VR. The Stealth Hitch features a removable receiver, so the hitch is completely hidden when not in use. A lot of time people with nicer cars like your BMW will prefer this just because it looks a lot nicer. Installation will the be the same for the 2021 models. The bumper will be coming off completely, and the impact structure underneath will be permanently removed. The link below will show you an install video.
