Bike Carrying Options for 2006 BMW Z4

Unfortunately, none of our hitch manufacturers offer a hitch compatible with your 2006 Z4.

This would rule out towing a small trailer, but for carrying two bikes, a trunk mount bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Rack # HRE3 would be a good choice.

If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for the bike rack. This allows the bike to be carried level, which maximizes ground clearance.
