Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 BMW M235i
Question:
I cannot locate a trailer hitch for my 2016 M235i anywhere, and I read that one buyer purchased the hitch for his 335i M Sport and it fit just fine. I do not know if that would be the same case with mine, since I have the dual exhaust as well. Please just let me know your thoughts. Im really wanting to put a bike rack on my car, but finding a trailer hitch has been impossible.

We have a way to carry bikes with your 2016 M235i, but there are no hitches available for your vehicle.
A trunk mounted bike rack like the Saris Bones part # SA805BL would be a great option that is confirmed as a fit. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 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.
