- The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11184 is the only confirmed fit we currently have for your 2011 BMW 135i.

- The Yakima HangOut 2 bike trunk mounted bike rack you referred to, part # Y02637 is compatible with your BMW 1 Series convertible, which would be my recommendation. The KingJoe has been discontinued and is no longer available.
If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # UB01. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point...

- For your 2012 BMW 1 Series that has factory fixed mounting points on the roof we have the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK328 which is a confirmed fit and would work well.
The Rhino Rack roof racks are high quality racks that don't break the bank like some roof rack brands do so it's one of my favorite racks to recommend.

In terms of the bike frame clamp I checked with Saris and they say that it fits all frame styles and sizes. I'd have to see a picture of your bike frame to see if I though it would be an exception to that rule, but in the mean time a better option might be the Thule EasyFold part # TH903202 which has a 65 lb per bike capacit and use...
