Can a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Be Used On a 2016 BMW 4 Series Cabriolet/Convertible

Question:

Can this rack fit a 2016 4-series convertible? There is a shark fin antenna in the middle of the top of the trunk which looks like it could make the fit difficult.

I do have an option for you to transport bikes but you cannot use a trunk mount bike rack on a convertible, usually due to the configuration of the deck lid and lack of support. The convertible top also rules out a roof rack as well so the only way you can transport bikes on your 2016 BMW 4 Series Cabriolet/Convertible is with a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike rack, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11367 with the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058 is what I recommend.

I have attached an install video on the above trailer hitch for you which as you can see does not require any drilling.
