BMW X7 Stealth Hitches Towing Kit Installation DIY

Stealth Hitches: stealthhitches.com/products/b...
BMW SUVs are very capable of towing, but it seems that most do not come with the tow hitch pre-installed. Luckily, there are some aftermarket options that have systems that can be installed on most BMWs and used for bike racks or even towing! My BMW X7 is capable of towing 7500lbs, but it only came with the prewired for towing option, but not the actual tow hitch. Luckily, there is 1 company in US that actually makes an aftermarket towing hitch for this car. In fact, it's the only company in US that makes a kit for BMW X7! In this video, I show you step by step how to install the towing kit from start to finish, including installing the hitch itself, exhaust brackets and support, the rack receiver and of course the tow hook and 2 inch ball mount. To get to the install, we will be removing the bumper as well as the tail lights, so it's a lengthy process, but really worth doing!

Hello, I have an X5 2024 and I would like to know if it has a towing preparstion option??? How can I find out?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Hi! If you bought your X5 new, you probably have a built sheet which will show you all of the options. Otherwise, there are websites (google "BMW VIN decoder") that will show that as well. You are looking for the 8SL option.
