Hi guys and girls..!
Just collected my new X5 and as it was in stock, it didn't come with a tow bar...
What other options do I have for carrying one bike..?

F15 bike rack options..?
Re: F15 bike rack options..?
Take the front wheel off and throw it in the boot, infacr me and the wife went on a cycling holiday down on the south coast and I didn't fancy going all that way with them on the roof, took the wheels off, straight in the boot, more secure and no wind noise and Max MPG.
One downside if your mud plugging, it can get messy.

Anyone a part number for these...?
Re: F15 bike rack options..?
BMW did a factory one for the X3, so may do one for the F15

Search on Realoem - copy of BMW Parts database.
Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.
Re: F15 bike rack options..?
another option is to stick it on the roof - you'll need the cross bars and the rack that holds the bike.
TBH its a real pain in the neck to put the bike on the roof and it shreds your mpg if travelling at speed. I have done it with my last 2 X5s but am currently speccing a tow bar on my potential replacement.

It'll be allright in the end. If it isn't allright it isn't the end

Re: F15 bike rack options..?
There was a towing eye mounted bike rack in the selling section, looks a neat bit of kit and if I remember correctly it was BMW supplied
It may have been for the E70 though may fit the F15 as they're are similarities between the chassis, a call to the dealer or look on realoem shall confirm
