Question Trailer hitch X5MC or X6MC?

Anyone order a hitch with their X5MC or X6MC? I see it as an option in the UK, but in USA and Canada there is no option. The rear bumper carrier on the X5 and X6 GO5/6 is the same as on the 2019 and 2020 so I am wondering if this can be retrofitted. I know Stealth hitch offer one for the 2019 X5 with M sport and the carrier is the same for 2020 MY. Anyone? I don't know how far back the CF rear diffuser goes or if there is a cutout, so may have to cut?

Stealth Hitch cut out looks like this if cut according to the instructions. Someone said the cutout could be reduced significantly as you can tell from the picture where the hitch actually goes. So if you take it to the dealer to get Stealth Hitch installed ask them to minimize the cut out, as it looks ugly since the chrome mesh shows when looked from behind the car.

Thanks for the post. The cut does seem a little excessive. Why such a long cut? does the plug get in the way? I am assuming the trailer plug is the black thing on the passenger side?
