Not sure how hands on you are with projects like this, but be prepared for more work than expected if you want the hitch to function like the OEM setup. Unlike the hitch on previous SUVs, the hitch on the X7 is heavily integrated with the electronics, suspension and the safety features of the X7 - so coding will be required (and I suspect it won't be trivial coding like folding mirrors with the key fob or something simple). Also, according to BMW, a non-factory installed hitch has a lower tow rating as well.
Anything can be retrofitted with enough time and money. But as much as I like DIY projects, for a non-factory installed hitch on the X7, I would go with an OEM retrofit from the dealer (which would include the proper coding).
