How to Carry Bikes on a 2011 BMW 535 XDrive GT  

Updated 09/05/2014 | Published 09/03/2014



Question:

Will this bike rack fit a 2011 535 I X G T. This is a semi crossover sedan with the X drive and G T model. How do I know which setting to use for my car? If you have questions on this model you can visit the BMW website and pull up pictures.

I think they call that the Sportback. But on a 2011 BMW 535 XDrive GT, that specific model is not included in the Thule fit guides. Later GT models are but not a 2011. Since it isn't really a sedan and its not entirely a wagon it falls into a gray area. None of the other companies that at least have that model in the fit guide show a fit for any trunk mount bike racks for your GT.

The only option to carry bikes on the vehicle is going to be a roof rack. The best in value and quality is going to be a Rhino-Rack roof rack using the following parts:

Crossbars, # RRVA137B-2
Leg kit # RRRLKVA
Custom clamp kit # DK292

Then for a quality, stable bike rack I recommend the Mountain Trail, # RBC035. I have linked a video review of this carrier for you.
