Question:
Hi - We own a 2017 BMW X1 and 2016 Lexus ES300h. I was wondering if this over the trunk rack would fit both. I:n the reviews i saw a hatchback Nissan with the attachment. Thanks

The Saris Bones 3 Bike, # SA801BL, is confirmed to fit the 2016 Lexus ES 300h. However, this bike rack will not fit the 2017 BMW X1.
For this vehicle, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack, # HRF2-3. This rack is confirmed to fit your 2017 BMW X1. The Over-the-Top bike rack will give you a 3 bike carrying capacity like the Saris Bones bike rack. The Hollywood Racks includes anti-sway cradles to prevent bike-to-bike sway and adjustable cam buckle straps to secure the rack to the vehicle.
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.
