Bike rack

Can anyone recommend a bike rack for my 2019 x5. I don't have a trailer hitch therefore it would need to go on the back. Thanks

I'm going to hover and follow this thread.

The G05 is terrible for carrying a bike, can't get one to fit without taking the bloody thing apart (both wheels)

Also looking for a decent bike rack

Look into seasucker. I've used these on my other vehicles and have never had any problems with them.

Also interested- bought off lot and didn't have a hitch. I'll probably never tow, so would rather not spend $600-700 on the Stealth hitch just to add a bike rack.

Anyone have ideas? I'll look at roof rack, but was hoping for trunk ex. hitch.

I'll second the SeaSucker. I have not used it on the X5 yet, but had three bikes on the roof our I3 with no issue. Super simple and quick to mount and also happen to be flexible for carrying all sorts of other things on your roof as well

I think Clark used the SeaSucker to put Grandma on the roof too
