You also lose the foot trunk open feature with a factory hitch not to mention it doesn't look great. I don't want one either way since I can't bike where I'm at. Stealth hitches are pretty nice because they're 100% hidden unless in use.
Wow, I knew that adding the hitch to the X3 meant no kick to open on the hatch, but I didn't realize this is the case with the X5, as well. If this is true, it takes the X5 completely off my list. I was already on the fence about the terrible gauges and poor map implementation in the cluster, so losing kick to open will seal it for me. Looks like the Q7 is in my future.
You shouldn't lose it with a non factory hitch. If that's the deciding factor to get an inferior vehicle (Q7) by all means do so
