For your 2011 BMW 328i sedan, I highly recommend the Thule Gateway Pro 2-Bike Rack # TH88VR. This is a great 2-bike rack that features narrowly spaced, adjustable dual arms that will provide excellent bike support. Because the arms can adjust independently, you will be able to keep the bikes level during transport. The rack has a total weight capacity of 35 pounds per bike.

I have attached a video demonstration on this bike rack so you can get a better look at all of its features.

If you plan on carrying any children's, women's, or alternative frame bikes, you may also need an adapter bar like the Kuat # UB01. This will provide a horizontal attachment point for level transport and improved ground clearance. I have included a video on this product so you can see exactly how it works and why it might be needed.
