Where do Upper Straps of Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 Install on 2020 BMW X3

Question:

It appears that the straps holding this bike rak in place go over the spoiler. Is that ok?

Yes, I checked with Yakima and the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 that you referenced does route the straps over the top of the rear spoiler of your 2020 BMW X3 and Yakima has confirmed that this won't hurt the vehicle.

If you plan on carrying any women's 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.
