There is not a confirmed fit for your 2017 BMW 4 Series Convertible from any of our manufacturers. There are often not hitches compatible with the convertibles and trunk mounted options are also difficult so sometimes manufacturers don't test fit them. A possibility for you is the SeaSucker Komodo Trunk Bike Rack # 298-BK1910-SV which uses vacuum cups for mounting. This hasn't been tested as I stated, but it is what I'd try if you have a 12x18 inch space on top of your trunk. The vacuum cups are tested for an extremely strong hold. I've attached videos to assist.
If you go this route, I recommend the cable anchor # 298-BA0020 and a cable lock like # e98891. I also recommend the wheel hog # 298-BA1580 to secure your removed wheel.
