Stealth Hitch X6M F96/X5M F95 released!
The Stealth Hitch for the 2020/2021 has finally released.
I pre-ordered mine today. This is for both X6M/X5M and Competition models. I have been waiting for this to be released for a few of months. This would have been a deal breaker for me if I could not get a hitch installed (shame on BMW for not having this option in North America). I already have the BMW wire harness, combox and pollack connector My X6MC is currently on rail and enroute as of November 2nd. Not sure how long it will take to arrive in Canada at the dealer (anyone in Canada know how long this typically takes? I am in Southern Ontario). Stealth Hitch won't begin shipping for two weeks. Richard at Stealth was fabulous to deal with. Check thier website for info.

This is great news!
Does anyone know if the American version of the 2020 X5M has the connections available that are necessary for the stealth hitch harness (at the rear of the vehicle I'm assuming.) |

It should. Look at your build sheet if it says 8SL that is the option for towing pre-wire. You will still need the combox and BMW Harness if you want full functionality. The Stealth hitch electric harness does not allow the idrive to communicate. You will have lights function, but you can't program trailer mode without the BMW harness and combox.

I just need a hitch for a bike rack - assuming none of those parts will be needed since I don't plan to tow?

If you plan not to tow than yes all you would need is a hitch and receiver. Plus some patience when the PDC sensors scream at you everytime you reverse

Thanks denaliman!
I'm wondering if the stealthhitch trailer option negates the need for some of the parts you listed. The product page shows that it comes with: Wiring harness 7-way connector and mounting brackets 7-way to 4-way adapter Stealthhitch Link for 2020 X5M |

Still waiting for Stealth to ship the hitch. Anyone else waiting for X6M/X5M? Have you talked to Stealth and any info on when they will ship? I have emailed them twice, but no response.

Haha. Mine arrived last week and is in my garage awaiting my delivery in March. So delivered? Yes. Installed? No. Not much good to you probably. But I did have it on my F97 as well using their supplied harness. The factory sensors did complain an awful lot whenever I towed something. I spoke with an engineer at stealth hitch who says they're supposed to fit an F95 in February and will test modules. I will need a solution for those sensors. It was a PITA without them.
