It attaches directly into the OEM hitch receiver and supports the weight of the rack and the 387+ lbs weight of the bike with no problems.
I've hauled my bikes from MD to NC and back many times with no problems.

that looks good.
maybe I've got the wrong name, the standard OEM detatchable towbar for the X5. They are called swan necks in the UK because of the S type shape of the bit with the ball on it.
then again, it costs a fortune and it's USA based :-(
400lbs of weight though ? mental ! that means I could put my fireblade on the back... how does it drive with 400lbs of bike hanging off the back of it ? must be a bit nervous surely ?
