4-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2019 BMW X5
Question:
Hi, Can you please indicate the right 4- bike hitch rack for a 2019 BMW X5? The hitch mount is BMW original. Thanks!

The OEM trailer hitch receiver for a 2019 BMW X5 should be a 2 inch receiver, though I recommend verifying that. For a 2 inch receiver on your X5, there are a couple of great options for a 4-bike rack I recommend checking out.
The first is the Saris Freedom 4-Bike Platform Rack # SA4414B.
I really like this rack because of its cushioned cradles that can grasp your bikes by different spots on the down tubes or top tubes, and because it has a very easy-to-use lever so you can fold or tilt the rack without trouble.
The other rack I recommend for a premium, top-tier option is the Saris SuperClamp EX 4-Bike Platform Rack # SA4026F.
This is a wheel-mounted rack which means no contact with the frames of your bikes, integrated locks to secure the rack to your hitch and bikes to the rack, and an 8-1/2 inch shank rise for optimal clearance to ensure the rack never touches the ground.
I've added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.
