Does Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack Fit 2018 BMW X1  

Question:

I have a 2018 BMW X-1 suv Because the area above the rear window seems to be plastic, will the upper straps put too much pressure and crack it? Thanks

Thule has test fit their Passage 2 bike rack part # TH910XT on a 2018 BWM X1 and found that when installed according to their instructions and not overloaded the rack would not damage the rear hatch/door in any way. Thule takes test fitting their racks very seriously too and typically errs on the side of caution over listing something as a fit if it's questionable at all.

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.
