Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 BMW X5
Question:
What trunk mounted bike rack should I get for my 2018 BMW X5?
asked by: Dale
Expert Reply:
For your 2018 BMW X5 we have the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack # Y02638 which fits the M and non-M models that would work well for you. This rack was specifically designed to fit on vehicles with spoilers so it will easily fit and work well.
If you plan on carrying any womens 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.
