E70 Rear Bike Carrier Availability in the UK
 

All, does anyone know if the Rear Bike Carrier (Part No: 82710427337) is available in either the UK or Europe. Have searched high and low and can't seem to find any details.

Thanks

I'm trying to find the same product, explained in detail to my local dealer and they still sent one that needs a tow bar!

Now they are saying they are available in the US only...

Search this forum someone posted a BMW one recently that screws into the rear bumper slots and looks excellent and I want one too:cool:

#Muz - yes that is exactly the one I am asking about. Seems only to be available in the US though

According to my parts list, the 337 part above seems to be an e70-only US rack. I'm in the US, and I just ordered and received the rear bike carrier that attaches to the x5 at the tow hook points. Part number is different than above: 82710443424. This seems to be an e70/e71 US rack.

There is another version that has lights and a license plate area. Perhaps that is the one needed for the UK. Here are the part numbers I'm seeing:
82710427335 for e70 only
82710443423 for e70/e71
There also seems to be some electrical kits for the e70 and e71, presumably to run the lights on the rack.

I just saw the rear bike carrier today at my local dealer here in Reno. It was on a vehicle in for service and I never imagined that you could put such a rack on the back of a SAV without a hitch. I should have taken a picture for you but after seeing your post a couple days ago and then seeing the bike rack today, I'm sold! It's a must have if you are a roadie or a mountain biker. Wow...
