Finally I had the chance to use the hitch and launch my ski.
Amazingly, the re-programming seemed to have worked and even with the ball mount upwards, when in reverse it didn't beep and the camera was on, as it should. Also the towing was smooth and pleasant, in spite of the relatively longer hitch.
Regarding the hitch (called Towing & Transport system), yes it is an original BMW OEM PN 82712157704.
The diagonal distance between the pinhole and the snap-in hitch hold is 10”. (approx 8” from the bumper). The distance between the pinhole and the ball mount is standard 8 ¼“.
