There is a trailer hitch receiver fit for your 2008 BMW 328xi coupe, though a hitch that is a fit for a sedan only will not also go on the coupe. Instead, what you will need is a hitch from Stealth Hitches, and there are two options, one that is for accessories like a bike rack only, and one that can be used with both accessories and for towing:

- Accessories (Bike Rack/Cargo Carrier) Only: Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH44VR

- Accessories AND Towing: Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH88VR

For your Kuat Beta bike rack #B202-2 the easiest solution to lock the bikes to the rack and to the hitch is to use a cable lock such as #e98891. Run the cable through the bikes and the safety chain loops on the trailer hitch to deter theft. I have…
