Bike carrier
Hi all. Am thinking about changing my M140i for a 330e Touring and see that BMW offer a rear-mounted bike carrier as an accessory. Does anybody have this, and is it any good? Does it require the electric towbar as a factory-fitted option?

Thanks a lot for that. I'm assuming that the bike carrier comes with the lights and number plate board ready to plug into the tow bar electrics.
From the BMW info it seems that their carrier hinges to allow access to the boot while the carrier is still on. Do they all do this I wonder?

Towbar mounted carriers are definitely good but the cost is huge when you include the towbar. I went for the rood mounted option
