Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 BMW 330i X-Drive
Question:
I am a 71 year old woman who would love to have a roof rack for my bicycle but lifting my bike overhead onto the roof may get a little tricky. I have a 2017 BMW 330i X-drive and would like to know if a hitch rack would work or if the best would be a trunk mounted bike rack. If hitch or trunk, which Yakima would work best with my vehicle. Thank you!

Expert Reply:
Trunk mounted bike racks are much easier to use than roof racks. And since the hitches for your vehicle are super expensive I would definitely go the trunk route. For that the Yakima FullBack part # Y02634 is a confirmed fit and would be a really great option. It's easy to load and has easier to use straps for securing the bikes to the rack.
