Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2020 BMW X5
Question:
What hitch is needed for a 2020 BMW X5? I need one for a bike rack and possibly towing a small trailer.

Draw-Tite offers the # 76288 which is a confirmed fit for the 2020 BMW X5, unless it is an M model in which case a hitch isn't available at this time.
If you think you might use the hitch for towing purposes at some later date, you'd need a trailer wiring harness # 119250KIT (no cutting or splicing required) and a ball mount kit like # 989900, which includes 2 ball mounts, two trailer balls and hitch pins/clips.
I've linked to some installation instructions for you.
