However, the factory solution also includes some additional towing electronic modules (and buttons) that interface with the rest of the car (like iDrive, the air suspension, etc) - a much more seamless and complete integration with the X7 IMHO.

Very true.
With OEM Trailer Hitch, you get Trailer Stabilization Control to stop trailer swinging. I think this safety feature alone is worth getting the OEM hitch over 3rd party ones.
I personally don't care about the comfort access (kick open) feature of the tailgate. It's never worked well in my previous BMWs - I have to keep kicking in different directions and different speed to get it to open, making me look like fool
