Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 BMW 328i Sedan for Thule Platform Bike Rack
Question:
Hi, I was looking for rack hitches for a 2016 BMW 328i. I currently own a Thule 2 bike rack 1 1/4 from ~2010. I believe it is the TH990XT. Would this rack fit the hitch you sell for the BMW? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The TH990XT is actually an older DoubleTrack. An easy way to tell if what you have is a DoubleTrack is by how the rack attaches to bikes. Does the rack grab the wheels or the frame for attachment? If wheels then it's a T2 TH9045. If frame, it's a DoubleTrack.
Either rack would fit your 2016 BMW 328i as long as you install the Curt hitch part # C11367 that has been confirmed as a fit. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.
