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. There are options for both convertibles and coupes. You could use a trunk mounted bike rake like the Hollywood racks Baja # HRE3. This rack holds up to 3 bikes and is easy to install.
I have included a link to a video review on this rack as well as a link to the trunk mount options for your Z3.

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. This bike rack will hold two bikes. If you're looking for a three bike rack, the Hollywood Racks Trunk Bike Rack # HRF2-3 would fit all three of your vehicles too.
I have included a review video for the two bike rack for you to check out. These bike racks are the same except for the number of bikes they can carry. view full answer...
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.

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.

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.

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...
