I did for the X1 which share the same platform.
Quite easy retrofit if you buy towing hitch from scrapyard vehicle
Then buy wiring kit from BMW:

You also need AAG control unit.
But before you start, make sure you check if you have right BDC version.

Attached pdf for X1 which is more or less the same principle, ask your dealer for correct pdf.
While installing I found that my rear bumper didn’t have any rear heat isolation attached. So I bought a new part with slot for towing hitch. You can also choose to cut your current one. I am talking part C from the Instructions pdf. Use realoem to find correct part for your vehicle.
Edit: note I also had to buy the addon fuseholder. I didnt upgrade the fan as I live in cold climate and only use the towing hitch occasionally so I figured it should be fine.
