The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH25VR we have is going to come with a passive harness. Since your 2019 BMW X5 xDrive40i has the 8SL towing option you would need to just order the Rack # SH89VR from us and the Active Harness/Towing Kit SHT25015A directly from Stealth Hitches.
The active harness/towing kit will come with the active wiring harness and the towing shank with 2" ball. The active harness allows your BMW ECU to monitor when a trailer is connected so it can change the way the transmission shifts.
For the exact BMW part numbers if you wanted the factory components you will want to contact a local BMW dealer with your VIN information so they can verify exactly what parts you will need.
