Can anyone tell me the ball height on the OEM hitch? I am looking at a Trailex and the coupler height is 21." Invisihitch offers three ball heights but the highest is 20."
just found a post on another forum stating that the ball on the OEM hitch is 19.5" high. I called Trailex and Carl said the ball should be 21" with full tongue weight, so with sag taken into account, ideally ball height should be around 23." If that is correct then neither the OEM hitch nor the Invisihitch provides a high enough ball height.
Revival here since I picked up a 2015 X5d M-sport and need an invisihitch or ? What's been working well for you guys? Here's what I have under the bumper currently for a connection. Appreciate your help
I have ~12K miles on the OEM hitch towing a trailex enclosed with a car. No issues so far. (X5M diffs are not happy though, I'm on my second rear diff and 3 repairs).

Looks like Invisihitch to me. I do have the part you need (ball mount), but the centering tabs on it that fit into the two groves pictured above were manufactured such that the receiver will not be 100% parallel with the car as it should be. It is just ever so slightly off and not very noticeable, and will still tow fine. I had Invisihitch send me a new one when I discovered the issue, just because it was under warranty and cost me nothing. PM me if you are interested.
That looks like an invisihitch. I have an extra reciever that fits in there. You can then insert a standard 2 1/2 inch square tube hitch with ball mount. That way, you can adjust the ball height by getting the proper rise or drop as needed. Pm if youre interested.
Btw, the round cap on the right side of your picture is the lock. I hope you have the key, otherwise you will not be able to insert or remove the hitch attachment.

PM Sent, I DON'T have the key...do you know if the keys are a universal style, or some individualized cut?
Thanks!

I doubt the keys are universal. I would call invisihitch to see if you can get a new key. Mine has a 3 digit code on the key. Check if your lock has a 3 digit code and maybe they can send you the proper new key.
I have the attachment below. I bought it because I couldn't find my original. By the time it arrived, I had found mine. So this has been in the box, unopened until today.
I paid $86.40 with shipping. Make me a reasonable offer and its yours.
Thanks a bunch for the offer but I need one for actual towing, not just bikes.
Today I got lucky and stopped by a shop that has done tint for me in the past and saw they had trailer hitches now.
Asked the guy about Invisihitch and he previously was a distributor...pulls what I needed right out from under the counter we're standing almost instantly!
Bought it on the spot, now off to the locksmith...
