Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 BMW 228i Sedan
Question:
I am looking for a trunk mount bike rack for my BMW 228i. I found your Thule 2-bike model for the 3 Series and wonder if this will fit my 2 Series.

I have a trunk mounted bike rack that will fit your 2015 BMW 2 Series as long as it is a Sedan, but it is not the Thule part # TH910XT. The Saris Bones part # SA805BL has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and would be a great choice. Check out the review video I attached for more info on it.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
