How To Carry Bikes On a 2014 BMW X1
Question:
Hi. I have a 2014 BMW X1, however, I do not have a sunroof. Do you have any hitches available? I see the Curt C13140. Can I install this, but skip the step for attaching it to the A-Frame since I do not have one. I only plan to install a bike rack - no towing. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you to carry bikes on your 2014 BMW X1 but they do not offer a trailer hitch for models with the panoramic sunroof. I cannot recommend that you modify one to work for you either. Therefore, your best option is to just use a trunk mounted bike rack for which I recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack # TH45JV This is highly popular and easy to install. It has many great features. Check out the video that I have included for you to see if you might be interested.
