Hey Jerry, thanks for reaching out!

Here are the parts I recommend for everything on your 2021 BMW X5:

- Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH25VR
- Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install 7-Way Trailer Connector # HM47210
- Eclipse Magnetic Mounting Bracket # 306-X6020
- Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set # 904b
- Curt Echo In-Line Bluetooth Brake Controller # C79DR
- K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors # KS3990

The Stealth Hitches kit comes with everything needed to tow with your vehicle, but the wiring won't allow for the Echo to tee in at the back of the 7-way which is why I recommend using the Hopkins 7-Way instead of the one in the kit. The hitch ball that comes with this kit is also a 2" ball so the Convert-A-Ball set gives you the option to easily interchange between a 2" and a 2-5/16" hitch ball.

I really like the Curt Echo In-Line because it installs at the back of your vehicle and you adjust the settings with your phone app - this means you get a hidden controller and you won't have anything else taking up space inside your vehicle.

The K-Source mirrors are a universal fit (there aren't any custom options for your vehicle) and they are the best rated that we carry. People like how easy these are to install, and the dual mirrors gives you much more viewing than the single mirror options.
