The Curt hitch part # C11194 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2006 BMW 5 Series Wagon so it is a great option, and the one I recommend for you.

This is a Class I 1-1/4 inch hitch so you will need to use a hitch mounted accessory that will fit a Class I hitch. You will be limited to only carrying two bikes if using a bike rack and a total of 200 lbs tongue weight if considering a cargo carrier.

I've included links to all of our Class I compatible bike racks and cargo carriers just in case.
