Expert Reply:

I do have an option for you but when you mention BMW 2015 535 xi, I believe you are referring to a BMW 535i XDrive. All of the hitches available for that vehicle like part # C11381 are class I hitches so the Hollywood Rack Sport Rider SE part # HLY74FR is not compatible because it is only compatible with Class II and Class III hitches.

I recommend to use the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH23JV for your 2 e-bikes on the BMW Class I hitch. It can handle up to 100 lbs (combined for two bikes) or up to 60 lbs when carrying a single bike and comes with the locks that you need to protect your investment. A lot of customers (including myself) enjoy the look and security of the wheel trays compared to the hoops on the Sport Rider. It also tilts away from easy cargo access when you need a drink from the cooler after a long bike ride. I have attached a video for your reference.
