Question:

My X4 is being delivered with front to back roof rails. Will I be able to mount 2 bikes with this rack? I did not see any pictures with bikes mounted so it was not clear if this would work.

Expert Reply:

I reached out to Inno and the # INXB138-2 and # INXS450 have not yet been approved for a 2022 BMW X4. However, I also reached out to Yakima and Thule, and Thule did have something that will fit your new vehicle.

To do this, you will need to start with the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Roof Rack Feet # TH186007. These are specifically designed for the flush rails you have on your X4 and will allow you to get the Evo Flush Rail Feet # TH710601 attached. From here, you will need the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 to complete the set up. These will be 53 inches long and will have a 165 pound capacity, so it will have no issue at all holding bike racks.

Speaking of racks, if you did not already have them, I highly recommend the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004-FB.This is not only compatible with Fat Bikes, it also allows you to mount the bike without removing the front wheel, making it much more convenient than other racks.
