Nice rack indeed. Unfortunately, it's not an option if one does not have a hitch. I wish Thule or anyone of the other rack manufacturers would make one that would fit the X5 bumper towing eyes. Competition would drive the price of BMW's down. With no competing racks (that I know of), BMW can and does sell theirs for $499 + tax!!! Damn them!
