Thule Cargo Box for 2013 BMW 535 GT
The great thing about Thule, aside from the quality of their products, is that their boxes are going to be adjustable to fit a great deal of crossbar spreads on different vehicles. Your 2013 BMW 535i GT is going to have a 28-1/2" spread with the fixed mounting points. Since your rear-hatch is going to be one of the deciding factors in the box that you'll be able to use, you'll need to measure from the center of your vehicle's front cross bar to the point where the roof meets the rear hatch....

Will Using a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Damage the Automatic Trunk Release on a 2012 BMW 5 Series
The Thule Passage 3, # TH911XT, will fit the 2012 BMW 5 series. However, on any vehicle you should not attempt to open the trunk with the bike rack attached because it is not rated for the extra weight and it can also cause the trunk to fall on you. It also affects how the rack attaches to the vehicle. Provided that you do not attempt to open the trunk with the rack attached it should not have any effect on the trunk release.

This is rated to tow up to 2,000 pounds and will handle the weight perfectly fine, but you will need a few other parts to complete the set up. First will be a ball mount and ball.

Will the Swagman XTC-2 Fit on the 1-1/4" Hitch on a BMW 5 Series
No. The Swagman XTC-2 # S64670 is a good choice to carry your bikes on the back of your 2007 BMW 5 Series with a 1-1/4" hitch receiver. Since it's a platform rack, the bikes will be easier to get on and off compared to a hanging bike rack and as long as your bikes do not weigh more than 35-lbs each, this will work well. Since this rack does not come with a locking hitch pin to help eliminate rattle and secure the rack to your car, you may want to consider adding the Swagman Anti Rattle...

Good news we have a custom fit tan floor mat that will work for you. I recommend the WeatherTech # WT453131 for the front and # WT453133 for the rear. These mats are custom molded and laser cut to fit your specific vehicle. Simply remove your current mats and replace them with this rigid thermoplastic set. I have a set and love them.

Will the Thule Outway Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2009 BMW 535 and 2014 BMW 4-Series
First, to answer the question about the different versions or generations of the OutWay, part # TH45JV is the newest and current. The old one was TH9001, the TH9001XT. and the TH9001PRO. If you order # TH45JV you will get the newest version. We actually do have the OutWay # TH45JV listed as a fit for the 2014 BMW 4-Series coupe.
