Hey what's up, Doc? This is the face I made when I read that pun :|

Anyway, back to business. Yes, the Yakima StageTwo can be converted to a 4 bike rack. The 2-bike add on is available in Gray part # Y27VR or in black # Y77VR. Or if you wanna flip the script you can buy the 4-bike version part # Y75AR, then convert it down to a 2 bike rack whenever your friends don't want to go ride with you because of your terrible puns.

Hey James, the Stealth hitch part #SH77VR that you referenced is a fit for your 2024 BMW X1 and would work great. Looks like we have one in stock but the main reason we took it out of our fitguide was the delay to get more of them.
