Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation to fit 2010 BMW X6 and 135i Convertible

Question:

Hello, We own two vehicles, a BMW X6 and a BMW 135i convertible. We are looking for a bike rack that could be used on both vehicles interchangeably. Researching your site, I think the Thule TH9006XT would work...what are your thoughts and have I done the research correctly? Your help would be appreciated in finding the correct rear mounted rack for this spring... Regards,

For both your 2010 BMW X6 and your BMW 135i Convertible the Thule Gatewat pro trunk rack part # TH88VR has been confirmed as a fit and would work well.

This rack has adjustable arms plus cushioned cradles so it would be a great option.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
