Receiver hitch for 2013 528i
I need a receiver hitch for a brand new 2013 528i.
It is to install a bike rack that inserts into a 2" receiver hitch.
I cannot find anything online. PF Jones only has the European still ball hitch (not square receiver).
Any idea?
I bike 5 times a week, temporary trunk attachments are not an option. Roof rack are also not viable for me.
Thanks!

custom shop. Mine in US dollars, $300-$500 here in Seattle but you must have similar craftsmen there. The bonus of having it made custom is you can tell them where you'd like it to exit and at what height, etc.
See mine for an example on E61:
see, very trim when not in use. I access pin from underneath.

Custom trailer hitch builder. The type of place that builds hitches for towing horses, RV's, etc. They also do a lot of custom bike rack hitches so that's where I've had a 2" version made for both wagons.
It might take you some time researching the best place but do that work and it will be worthwhile. Not every shop that installs hitches is good, some think it's no big deal to drill holes into your car without asking. SO, be diligent. I know from experience!
