I had a hard time tracking down towing information and the use of a weight distribution hitch so I reached out to BMW.

"The BMW X7 is able to tow 5,952 lbs and 7,500 lbs with the factory-installed trailer hitch. The maximum drawbar nose weight is 606 lbs. BMW factory installed trailer hitches are not approved for a weight distributing hitch solution.

I hope this information is helpful. Thanks again for your inquiry.
