Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2012 BMW 335i Convertible
Question:
I have a 2012 BMW 335i Convertible. I like the design and engineering of your th45JV OutWay 2 rack. The 2 bikes I will be carrying on it weigh a total of 60 pounds. Can you recommend this rack for my vehicle?

Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you, however the Thule OutWay 2 bike rack # TH45JV is not a fit for your 2012 BMW 335i Convertible. A compatible trunk mount bike rack that I recommend is the Thule Passage # TH910XT. It is confirmed to fit and has a similar design to the OutWay. It has the No-Sway cages and 2 layers of cushioning to absorb vibration from bumps in the road. It also includes a locking cable to lock the bikes to the rack and a TrunkLocker strap to secure the rack to your BMW.
If you're carrying any women's or children's bikes that do not have a straight top tub to fit on the arms of the Passage XT you may need an adapter like the Kuat Ubar Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01.
