There are no roof rack options available for your 1999 BMW Z3, but the trunk mounted bike rack part # HRE3 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle so it would work well.

The ball mount # D-55007 was meant for use with Curt trailer hitch # C11748V. I have included a link to the installation details for you. You could then add 1-7/8 inch ball # 19256 or 2 inch ball # 19258. On Class I and II trailer hitches you have to use the ball mount specified by the hitch manufacturer for warranty purposes.
If you need trailer wiring, use # 119178KIT. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the wiring as well. view full answer...
The only option I could recommend would be a tow dolly like part # RM-2050-1 as long as the owners manual of your vehicle says it can be towed with one. Using a tow dolly is slightly more expensive that flat towing but there is much less hassle since there's only one part to buy and virtually no install time. Whereas a flat towing setup can be pricey and difficult for everything to install.

I checked with Thule but the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack part # TH45JV is not listed as a fit for a 2001 BMW Z3. Instead, I'd recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier part # HRF2 as a great alternative. If you wanted to add a lock you can use the etrailer 10' Long Cable Lock part # e98891 or one similar. view full answer...
The Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Rack, # HRE3, will fit on your 1999 BMW Z3. This bike rack can carry two bikes at 35 lbs each. If either of your bikes do not have a horizontal top frame tube, then you may need a bike adapter bar like theHollywood Adapter, # HRBA-PRO. Some bikes with step-through or alternative frames can be difficult to load on a bike rack and cause ground clearance issues. This adapter bar will allow you to load the bike level and safely on the bike rack.

While there isn't a 1-1/4 inch adapter for the vertical trailer hitch # C11748V there are other ways to carry bikes on your 2001 BMW Z3. You could use a trunk mount rack.

If you already have a 4-Way on your 1997 BMW Z3, then you are half way there, if not, you will need to add the Curt Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit C59236.

The only bike rack I found to fit all three of your vehicles, the 2013 Toyota Prius, 2000 BMW Z3 Convertible, and 2010 Acura MDX, is the Hollywood Racks Trunk Bike Rack # HRF2.

For your 2000 BMW Z3 Convertible I would recommend part 119178KIT. This harness will convert the 3 wire system on your BMW to a 2 wire system for the motorcycle trailer.

I have a solution that will allow your 1999 BMW Z3 M Coupe to carry a bike rack but it's not a hitch mounted option. You would need to go with a trunk mounted bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Expedition part # HRF6-2 which is a confirmed fit and a great bike rack.
