I have a 2023 BMW 440 CONVERTIBLE. Is there an aftermarket hitch available for it? If not, is there a trunk bicycle rack that would fit?

We do have one potential option for you, but I am sorry to say that there is not an aftermarket hitch available for the 2023 BMW 4 Series 440 Convertible. Nor are there any trunk mount bike racks that will fit. Considering the design of the rear of the vehicle, and with it being a convertible, there would be no way to securely and safely mount a hitch or trunk rack.

The only option that could potentially work is the SeaSucker Komodo # 298-BK1910-BK. This uses vacuum cups and can be attached directly to the trunk to carry one bike. Keep in mind that you would NOT be able to open or close the roof with this installed. We recommend this rack pretty often for convertibles, since there are no other bike-carrying options for most of them. If you would like to take a closer look at this SeaSucker rack, I have linked a few of our videos below which will give you a more in-depth look.

Answer 4

The ideal height will actually have to do with how tall the coupler of the trailer is from the ground. The Draw-Tite #76020 will sit at 13 1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch when installed on a 2016 Mazda CX-9. From what I could find…
