Hitch Availability for 2007 BMW 328i 2-Door Coupe for Carrying Bike Rack

Question:

I have a 2007 BMW 328i Coupe. Thats two doors. I dont see on your website any hitches for that specific body type of car. Is there a hitch that is adaptable to my car from any of the same model cars but in sedan version? Also, Im looking to install a hitch to tow a bike rack, not anything heavy duty. Please advise. Thank you.

The trailer hitch you referenced, Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24857 is a correct fit for the 328i Sedan version but not your 2-door coupe. Currently we do not have any hitches for your vehicle. Hitches will have their rated capacity only when installed as intended by the manufacturer on the specific vehicle for which they were designed. We cannot recommend any attempt to alter the hitch or adapt it to fit on a different vehicle than intended.

However, we can help you with a trunk-mount bike carrier for your 328i Coupe. The link provided will show you all 2- and 3-bike carriers confirmed to fit. Among them is the ThuleOutWay 2 # TH45JV (also available in a 3-bike version # TH56JV). The OutWay offers advanced features like a sturdy 2 rubber coated strap attachment system (rather than 6 nylon straps used by other carriers.) and built-in locks for both the rack itself and your loaded bikes. It is is the easiest to install and remove and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

The linked article will offer some additional information to help you consider your options.
