There are some trunk mount bike carriers that will fit your 2015 BMW X6 M. On a vehicle as new and nice as yours I recommend going with a trunk mount carrier that makes as little contact with the vehicle as possible.

For a 2-bike carrier I recommend the Thule OutWay # TH45JV and for 3 bikes # TH56BV. These carriers use only 2 cables instead of the 4- 6 straps to connect to the vehicle limiting the amount of contact. These carriers also have built-in cable locks and access to the cable adjustment mechanism can also be locked to deter theft of the carrier and bikes.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance.
