Yep that is the one I used, no cutting at all on the msport.

The drawtite 75600 will also fit without cutting and you can apparently also retain the bumper crash bar with it (the new curt model you cannot retain the bumper bar behind the bumper due to the location of the bracing on the hitch near the bolts.

The other issue I had with the OEM one on my X3 which is the same design and same receiver attachments is that the 2" square tube is quite shallow and I had to cut my hitch shorter to get it to fit into the 2" receiver - whole thing is just a poor design at best - why they would not just OEM the hidden hitch like the rest of the world is beyond me.
