New 2024 m440i gc

Hey all,
Proud new owner of a 2024 m440i xdrive gc. Brooklyn grey with black leather. Pretty much optioned out. Loving it. The hatch sold me as it has incredible space.

Question though. I'm a big biker, especially mountain bikes. I bought a direct mount roof rack and bike carrier. But I'm starting to wonder if I really want to have that on my car full time. So I am looking at the stealth hitches. But the stealth hitch site shows a hitch will only work on a 2023 m440i convertible. So has anyone on here put one on a gran coupe? Will it work? I like the idea of being able to pop a hitch on and off to keep the car cleaner looking.

Thanks!

I'm sure you've already thought of this, but will the bike fit in the hatch with the rear seats folded? I had the previous generation 4GC and it never failed to impress me with what I was able to fit back there.

While I am not sure about retrofitting/installing a hitch, I don't think it would be a difficult process to install one and I am sure some members have accomplished that tasks.

I did, however, want to lessen your anxiety by pointing out that the Vernasca leather is fairly strong/durable and so occasionally transporting your bike inside the vehicle shouldn't be too much of an issue. You can even lay a towel or two down for added protection. However, as mentioned above, the Vernasca leather is fairly strong and durable!

Now what would be a problem is if you planned on hauling your bike inside a car that had Smoke White Merino Leather!! lmao

Congrats!

I am still driving 2017 F36 440i GC. Perhaps the best car I've owned.

Photos of your car are always appreciated.
