The Rhino-Rack Nautic 581 Rear Loading Kayak Carrier # RR581 can fit onto any crossbar that has the top channel. It should have no issue fitting onto the Thule Wingbar EVO crossbar channel. Make sure the knob on the kayak carrier is loose enough to slide into the channel track. I have attached a demonstration video to help with this process. If you are still having issues installing it then feel free to send me some photos and more information so I can figure out what else might be going on. view full answer...
The Stealth Hitch you're referring to (listed below) installs directly to existing holes in the frame of a BMW X4, yes. You won't need to do any drilling but the gravel shield under the back of the car (which is different than fascia) will need to be trimmed for this hitch to fit.

The installation time for the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH75VR on your 2022 BMW X4 will vary based on the skill level and familiarity with the vehicle. For a skilled technician who is familiar with removal of the rear fascia parts the installation will take roughly 2 hours.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13316 has a crossbar that may appear to be a replacement but the bumper beam assembly needs to be reinstalled. I'm not quite sure what reinforcement you are referring to but the hitch doesn't come with anything other than the hitch and some replacement rivets. The other components may need to be trimmed but should be reinstalled. I've attached the installation instructions that includes photos to assist. view full answer...
So the reason the lock of the Thule Gateway part # TH88VR only secures the furthest out bike on the rack is because if you have that bike secure no one would be able to pull a bike past that one. view full answer...
