Question:

Hi, I read that the Thule OutWay Platform wont fit BMW 2 series, but you know why? Something can happen if I install and use?

I checked with Thule and while they have the 2-bike hanging style trunk rack as a fit for your 2016 BMW 2-Series they do not list the platform style. The platform version is pretty heavy and the older versions occasionally dented vehicles so they are very cautious about listing it as a fit for your vehicles.

I'd rather recommend you go with the hanging style OutWay instead that is part # TH45JV which we know fits well and is really the best option available for a trunk rack for your vehicle. It is the most popular rack that we have and is by far the easiest to install and remove. It also comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes to deter theft.

If you plan on carrying any women's 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.
