I have the F15 (2015 X35d) and need to a bike rack/carrier to tow 2 bikes around. I don't have a hitch, nor do I want to buy one, so my option would be for the BMW bike carrier that plugs into the tow eye sockets in the rear bumper and holds two bikes. Someone earlier in this post said that there is a difference in the prior model (E70) and current (F15), in that the F15 doesn't have two tow sockets (only one). That sounds weird to me because the F15 has 2 plastic cover pieces in the rear bumper just like the E70. Trying to understand if that's really the case or not (I'll open both covers on my F15 tomorrow to see). Can anyone confirm this or speak to this? Does anyone use the BMW rear carrier on their F15?

Same carrier on EBAY (http://www.ebay.com/itm/311319801562...S:1123&vxp=mtr)
I want one of these myself coming into summer and had noticed the 2 apparent hitch points on the back of the 2015 F15. Are they available in the UK? Nothing on the UK BMW site.
