Rear attaching bicycle rack
Hi Fellow Forummer's
I would like to attach my mountain bike to the back of the 135, but my current rack design is for towbars only that the 135 cannot get. I read on the website that there is a rear attaching bike rack and want to know if anyone have used it at all? I dont want to do the roof mounting system. Thanks |

There's a bicycle rack on page 5 of the 1 series hatchback accessories brochure. This may also fit on the coupe.

It will work well but is pricey. I was quoted $1500 Canadian after install.

The OEM bike rack that attached to the rear of the car is about 400 bucks now. It seems to pick up the tow hooks on the rear bumper, but the car only has one hole in the bumper cover. It looks as though another hole is cut for the installation. Has anyone been through this? Do they have pics? Cheers

It wont fit 135, or cars with m bumpers. I bought the roof mounted solution.

I was told that the BMW version is not available for the Canadian market as displayed on the US site. And I would attach anything that is not to a tow bar. I've owned those universal setups and they always cause headaches with paint scratches, shifting and lost of truck access if you have the convertible 128 or 135. I am going to wait till someone makes a hiddenhitch or something similar. hell, maybe it will be soon since I've seen some vendors attempting to make a killing on after market parts and customs. (Read the eye lid post in this forum).

It has been years since this original post, but I am also thinking about a bike rack. The available photos from BMW don't show anything about how it is connected. What are the good solutions for a 2011 135i vert? Photos?
