Iver never done a install on a x3 but Ive done 2 and helped on a 3rd for an x5. Since the X5 is more top of the line SAV I would guess that they have more cosmetic cover ups to hide the appearance of it. Also there is no cutting on teh X5, its a direct bolt up process. But I would say if you want to cover it up find some sort of durabale material and put it around the hitch, such as a piece of chrome or a black plastic. Then get some weather stripping adheasive and use that to keep it on there. THen you can say that you have a "custom hitch" and everyone will think you are special.
