Subject: BMW X5 Rear Mounted Bike Carrier This bike carrier is great, I only used it twice for races. It's specifically made for the BMW X5 years 2007-2011. You can double check on BMW's website to see if it's compatible with your X5. I am pretty sure it will not work for X5 models before 2007. BMW's website description: This rear carrier does not require a trailer hitch, can transport two bicycles and is designed for attachment to the two towing eye sockets in the rear bumper so no installation kit is required. The carrier can be tilted back, with or without bicycles attached so the tailgate can be opened. Special mounting screws and locks deter theft and the bike holder is lockable for additional security. A foldaway design allows storage of the empty carrier in the luggage compartment. Bicycles are easy to load because they only have to be lifted about 12 inches. Original purchase price was $671 will sell for $500obo. I'm selling because I no longer have the X5. Please PM me with any questions. |
