Of the 3 bike trunk mounted bike racks available that are confirmed as fits for your 2012 BMW 3 Series I would go with the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack # SA803. This is a great rack that offers flexible arms and anti-sway cradles to keep the bikes from making contact with each other or the car. The Saris Bones has an arched base with a dog let that will give the best fit to carry your bikes securely on the trunk of your 2012 BMW 328i Hard Top Convertible. Check out the review video I attached for the rack.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 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.
