Thank you. Put on 850 miles in the first two weeks, nearly 500 for work.

Congrats on the new car, I want to make sure I get in before you sell it or add another to the fleet

The one hitch install I saw on a 535i required bumper cutting (sucks but ok I guess) and also drilling into the trunk floor metal, which I'm not so cool with. I'll stay away from expensive/difficult stuff.

I can see from the svc trail of the previous (unbelievably, overly OCD) owner that the performance exhaust was a b*** to get right, required multiple trips.
Have you looked into Invisihitch? http://execuhitch.com/tow-hitches/

We went with them for the new X5.
