2017 X5 tow hitch recommendation?

Looking to put a tow hitch on my X5. It's an xDrive50i with the M sport package.

I only plan to use it for light stuff- bikes, maybe some sort of cargo carrier. Maybe a trailer for junk hauling at most.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Best choice is INVISIHITCH with the OEM module. Talk to Steve at the factory outside of Atlanta, he will be more than happy to answer any questions.

I'm in Davis, California. Will I still be able to ask Steve for the purchasing?
