That is probably why BMW NA has the X5 rated in the US market to tow only the above mentioned 6,000 lbs (2,716 kg). In another words, with a proper hitch (not the one BMW sells here in US), X5 is capable of towing 7,700 lbs. In all likelihood though, the limiting towing factor becomes the tongue weight, which is 600 lbs (272 kg) regardless what hitch you use.
