Yes, I checked with Yakima and can confirm the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack part # Y02637 is a fit for a 2017 BMW X3 (All Models). If you want to add locks, you'll need the Yakima Same Key System Cable part # Y07233 and Yakima Same Key System part # Y07202. That said, there are some fit notes you need to follow below:

Place the upper strap hooks at the top edge of trunk, hatch lid, or rear door.

Outer/lower support frame rests on the lower portion of the license plate or well. When bikes are loaded, re-tension straps to ensure base pads only make contact with the vertical surface of the well or plate.

Place the lower strap hooks at the bottom edge of the trunk, hatch lid, or rear door.

Side strap hooks to back side edge of trunk, hatch, or rear door below tail lights.

Yakima trunk mounted racks weight limit for 2 bikes is 60 lbs. / 3 bikes is 90 lbs.
