Rear bumper tear

I found this “tear” underneath by rear bumper. Can you fellas check out if it’s the way they build the car or I broke it.. lol

I noticed the same thing several months ago (on my 2019 40i x-line) and also thought it was damage - but realized upon closer inspection it's the actual design itself (but definitely looks like a "tear" / crack). Not to worry - yours is the same "design" as mine.

Along with the famous headlight lens seam, another of the ubiquitous X5 anomalies you have to really search to find. Bravo for the ingenuity of X5 owners....

I believe that cowl is removable for tow/trailer hitch installation.
