Question:

Hello, I want to buy a bike rack that I can once or twice a year put on my new car as below, to carry 2 bikes 428i xDrive Gran Coupe What do you suggest? We do not want it on the roof. Our previous car was a Ford Explorer and had a hitch and a universal tow and bike rack we used. But now the car we want to by is much smaller as above. Thanks,

Sounds like a trunk rack would be your best option. These are great for occasional use and they don't make you install a trailer hitch to install either. The Saris Bones 2 part # SA805BL has been confirmed as a fit and would work well on the 2015 BMW 428xDrive Gran Coupe if you end up getting it.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
