Hi Jeffrey!

TO get the towing set up for your 2023 BMW X3, you will need to add on the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring # 391CONVD5 with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # SH46FR.

If your X3 is an M model, you can actually order it all as one part with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2" # SH45VR. This is slightly different from the above parts though, so if you do not have the M model, you will need to order the separate parts from above.

What are you planning on towing with your X3?

@JeffreyH Since you have the M40i model, you will definitely want to do the # SH46FR and then add on the # 391CONVD5 towing kit. Sounds like you are getting ready to do all sorts of stuff! The towing kit will give you a 7-Way plug on your X3, but it also includes an adapter to go to a 4-Flat, so you will not need anything else to get out on the road. Have fun out there and just let me know if there is anything else I can help with! ^___^

@LazerS. Is this combination the same as this product essentially? But for cheaper https://stealthhitches.com/products/bmw-hitch-shr31019-1?rq=yr_2023~mk_bmw~md_x3-m40i

@Jeff It does look to be the same thing, but the price looks to be the same. Stealth Hitches does a map pricing thing so everyone should have their prices set.
