The hitch that is a confirmed fit for your 2016 BMW 428i Gran Coupe is the Curt # C11367, which is Class I rated and has a receiver opening of 1-1/4" x 1-1/4". As for the kick-to-open feature, there has not been an issue with other BMW's installing hitches and continuing to utilize it by aiming your foot just to the left or right of the hitch.
When it comes to how hidden the hitch is, if you take a look at the install video I've linked, you can see the hitch on a 2015 BMW 3 Series, which... view full answer...
While we and Curt have not heard of any issues with the rear sensors on your 2012 BMW 428i coupe for trailer hitch # C11367, take a look at the picture I have included showing an underside shot of the hitch installed on a vehicle.
If the sensors are behind that center section of the hitch then they will be blocked by the hitch.
If you plan on doing any towing the correct ball mount to use is # C45521. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. For trailer wiring... view full answer...
The Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier # SA805BL referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2017 BMW 430i Gran Coupe. For this vehicle, you will just need to add the Saris Hatch Huggers # SA3035 to replace the top hooks on the Carrier.
This carrier can hold up to 2 bikes at 35 pounds each. If you plan on carrying any woman's, children's or alternative frame bikes, you may need to use an adapter bar like the Swagman # 64005. This will provide a horizontal mounting point for level transport.... view full answer...
The Saris Bones Hitch 3 Bike Rack, Part # SA883, is an good choice for the BMW 3-Series. It is capable of holding less than 3 bikes. Given that the BMW 3-Series only has Class I hitches, if you go this route, I would recommend keeping the bikes in the closest two positions to the rack to decrease the amount of stress put on the shank of the rack. A third bike will cause leverage to be applied to the shank and make it bend, damaging the rack.
If you'd rather not take the risk, I'd recommend... view full answer...
The time it looks like the fascia would need to be cut is for a 2016 2-series. Since you have a 4-series you should be just fine installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11367 without having to cut into your fascia. Attached is a sample installation video for you on a 4-series.
If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for I can make some recommendations for you. view full answer...
I have a possible solution for you to carry 2 bikes on your 2018 BMW 4 Series convertible, but there are not any trunk-mounted bike racks for your convertible so you will want to go the route of using a hitch-mounted bike rack. If you don't have a trailer hitch receiver yet then I would go with Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11367 which offers a simple bolt-on installation.
For a bike rack, I recommend the Thule DoubleTrack Pro 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4"... view full answer...
Yes, for your 2015 BMW 428i coupe non-Xdrive we have the Curt hitch part # C11367 which is a confirmed fit. We recently found out this hitch fits your vehicle so it would be a great option. view full answer...
For your 2015 BMW 428i Gran Coupe, I recommend the Thule CG9 tire chains # TH00023100. They are easy to install as they automatically tighten and align as you drive. The built-in icebreakers provide superior grip and traction and the anti-scratch nylon bumpers will provide you great rim protection. The quick-release system is great because you can easily release the tension by pulling a lever.
Please be sure to check your Owners Manual for specific information on the use of tire chains.... view full answer...
Curt trailer hitch # C11367 is a fit for your 2015 BMW 4-series convertible. This is a Class I trailer hitch so you will need a bike rack that is compatible with a Class I hitch. I recommend the Swagman Trailhead # S63365 because it weighs under 30 pounds so it is easy to handle and won't put excessive stress on the hitch when loaded with bikes. And because it holds the bikes at the wheels it is compatible with many bike styles.
The support strap # 18050 can attach to the vehicle anywhere... view full answer...
Curt trailer hitch # C11367 fits your 2014 BMW 435i Convertible. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.
Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements. view full answer...
I have a way for you to transport some cargo, but when I checked with all of our hitch manufacturers (December 2021) none of them have had a fit for a BMW 430i xdrive since the 2020 model.
For your application I recommend going with a roof rack instead. If you go with the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack system you'll be getting something that is easier to install and comes with one of the most innovative crossbars on the market. If you're good going this route then you'll need the following:

There is an adapter which will work with a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver such as the Curt # C11367.
This adapter will add rise and have a 2" receiver, but there is a cost; the total weight capacity and tongue weight capacity of the hitch will be cut in half with the Brophy # HT5R. I've added links to a video review of this adapter for you to take a look at. view full answer...
The Inno Locker Watersport Carrier w/ Crossbar Pads # INA446 that you were looking at would be an excellent surfboard carrier for your Thule aero crossbars. You will just need to make sure that your crossbar space equals the width of the surfboard plus 9". As long as you have the required crossbar space then you are all set to use this carrier.
This is a really easy-to-use setup which has integrated ratcheting straps to secure the boards to the roof rack. I also like the fact that it has... view full answer...
Your only option would be a bag like the Rightline Range 3 # RL100R30 and use the car clips # RL100600 to secure it to your roof by connecting the clips to your door jambs. view full answer...
I do have an option for you to transport bikes but you cannot use a trunk mount bike rack on a convertible, usually due to the configuration of the deck lid and lack of support. The convertible top also rules out a roof rack as well so the only way you can transport bikes on your 2016 BMW 4 Series Cabriolet/Convertible is with a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike rack, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11367 with the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058 is what I recommend.

You are correct that when the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class I # C11367 is installed, it will move the steel bumper closer to the bumper fascia by the width of the mounting bracket. However, this will not negatively impact or deform the bumper fascia.
If installing the hitch caused problems at the bumper fascia, the manufacturer would state that the hitch requires trimming of the bumper fascia or they would not list the hitch as a fit for the vehicle. The # C11367 requires no trimming... view full answer...
Yes the RockyMounts Solo # RKY10007 that you referenced would fit and work great in the Class II hitch you have installed in your 2014 BMW 4 Series. view full answer...
The Kuat Transfer # KU64FR and the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo part # RKY10007 are REALLY close in a lot of specs and are both really great bike racks with a very close price so it's a tough call to pick between the two. Both would also easy handle a 50 lb e-bike on a longer road trip as well. But I would give the edge to the MonoRail as it comes with a hitch lock and a cable lock whereas the Kuat requires you to buy the hitch lock separately. Aside from that you could look at the aesthetics... view full answer...
For your 2015 BMW 435i convertible, the Yakima Rack and Roll # Y08106 is an excellent option and my personal preference. I believe it is made better for the application and it won't limit your speed as the tires are rated for the posted road speeds. You may however want to consider the alternative options of the Malone MicroSport Trailer 13 foot # MPG460G with saddle carrier # MPG110MD. You will be restricted to 65 mph with this trailer due to the trailer tire rating.

For your 2017 BWW 430i xDrive convertible we have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class I - 1-1/4" # C11367 but we don't have any trunk mounted bike rack options. With this hidden crossbar trailer hitch you can use a hitch mounted bike rack compatible with a Class I hitch. I recommend the use of stability strap # 18050 as outlined in the installation instructions for additional support.
For a bike rack, the best and easiest to install bike rack is the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 which... view full answer...
