Does Malone Hanger 3 Bike Rack Fit a 2020 BMW 5 Series Sedan and Recommendation for Tesla Model 3
Yes, the Malone Hanger 3 Bike Rack # MPG2139 will fit your 2020 BMW 5 Series sedan. We have done an installation video on a 2008 Chevy Impala that I'm attaching for you to get an idea of fitment on a sedan but obviously it may look a little different for your application since you have a different vehicle. I would like to point out that Malone is more of an entry-level bike rack company and some of the more experienced bike rack companies don't recommend using a 3-bike rack on the 5 Series....

Will The Malone Profile 18s # MPG910 Fit Two Golf Bags?
I just measured my golf bag and it's a rather larger bag compared to my old one. My bag is about 55 inches long, sits about 12 inches on its side and is about 15 inches wide. If I had two bags like mine, they would both fit in the Malone Profile 18s cargo box # MPG910.

Trailer Hitch Fit For 2011 BMW 535i Sedan
For you 2011 BMW 535i Sedan, you will want the Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11381. This trailer hitch has a 1-1/4 inch receiver, a maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds, and a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 pounds. This hitch does require drilling for installation.

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....

Correct Trailer Hitch for a 2006 BMW 530XIT Wagon To Use with Bike Rack
I can confirm that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11498 is a fit for your 2006 BMW 530XIT Wagon. It is also the only trailer hitch we have for this vehicle. You can use a 1-1/4" to 2" adapter with this trailer hitch but not just any one. It needs to be class I rated like the Brophy Hitch Adapter part # HT5R or part # HTAD. This will then allow you to use your Thule Swing Away Bike Rack but please keep in mind that the adapter (as with all hitch adapters) reduces your tongue weight...

Trailer Hitch that Fits 2015 BMW 535D X-Drive
We do have a hitch that is a confirmed fit for your 2015 BMW 535d X-Drive with the Stealth part # SH38ZR or Stealth # SH97ZR which happens to also fit the same vehicles as the # C11381 but it's a drastically different design so we can't guarantee it would work. Since BMW has so many different sub-models it's probably a case where Curt just hasn't gotten a chance to test on that specific model like Stealth did.

Parts Needed To Tow A 16 Foot Catamaran With A 2014 BMW 535i
There will be no issue at all towing an 800 pound trailer with the Curt # C11381 once installed on your 2014 BMW 535i. 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. The correct ones will depend on where the hitch sits and how far the coupler sits off the ground as well as the coupler size. As a few examples, the Curt Ball Mount # C45021 will have a 4 inch...

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...

Does the Curt C11478 Hitch Fit the 2020 BMW 530e Hybrid?
I checked with our vendors and no one has been able to verify that the hitches for the 2020 BMW 5 series fit the hybrid model 530e. We do have confirmation that the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver item # SH24VR fit the 2018 530e and they are the same model. This hitch installs behind you rear bumper cover by removing the factory bumper beam.

Thank you for all of the information! Yes, the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs # MPG114MD-351XL will be a great option to use with the OEM crossbars on your 2006 BMW 530xi Wagon, especially since you don't have any overhang. If you end up needing to carry a second kayak then you'll just need a second DownLoader Carrier # MPG114MD since you can use the TelosXL Load Assist with both.

Bike Rack For 2015 BMW 535i XDrive For E-bikes
I do have an option for you but when you mention BMW 2015 535 xi, I believe you are referring to a BMW 535i XDrive. All of the hitches available for that vehicle like part # C11381 are class I hitches so the Hollywood Rack Sport Rider SE part # HLY74FR is not compatible because it is only compatible with Class II and Class III hitches. I recommend to use the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH23JV for your 2 e-bikes on the BMW Class I hitch. It can handle up to 100 lbs (combined...

Will the Curt Hitch C11498 for a 2006 BMW 530i Sit Behind Panel On Aero Rear Bumper
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11498 which is the only option available for a 2006 BMW 530i will install beneath the rear bumper as you can see in the attached install photo. Therefore, it will not sit behind the removable rear bumper panel on your 530i with Aero Package. I am not aware of a trailer hitch offered for the 530i that would sit behind this panel but the receiver tube is actually still hidden pretty well so this should not be too much of a concern.

Trailer Hitch Receiver For Carrying E-Bikes Behind a 2011 BMW 528i
The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH97ZR is our only receiver confirmed to fit your 2011 BMW 528i. While this comes with a 2" receiver you can get a 1-1/4" Receiver # 391RR1 if your bike rack does not offer an adapter to fit a 2" receiver. If you ever want to be able to tow a trailer you will need the Towing Kit # 391CONVA5 which includes a ball mount and 4-way wiring. You may need this 4-way for your bike rack if you require Auxiliary Lights # C53201 due to the bikes impairing...

Thule Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 BMW 5 Series
I checked with Thule and the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier # TH45JV will work on your 2012 BMW 528i. As long as you do not exceed the weight capacity of the rack or over tighten the rack you should not have any trunk lid damage. This rack is one of the best on the market and would be my first choice for a trunk mounted bike rack because of how easy it is to use, how lightweight it is and the fact that it uses rubber coated steel cables instead of straps that could be easily cut like other...

Recommended Tire Socks for P255/40-17 Tires on a 2000 BMW 5 Series

Can the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack be Used with Moonroof on 2012 BMW 535x GT
The Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points # RRRS296 is an excellent choice for your 2012 BMW 535x GT! I am not sure if it will interfere with your moonroof but I can say that from the bottom of the fit kit (where the base attaches to your vehicle) to the bottom of the crossbars measures about 4-1/4" so as long as your moonroof doesn't lift higher than that you can use your moonroof with the roof rack installed. The reason why roof rack manufacturers state not to use the...
