It was the one that used to fit the tow mounts. They changed the design so now you need a receiver similar to a tow hitch. Looks like that would cost over a $1000 for the new carrier and the receiver.

0605260 Not to be picky, but why is this an issue with the X5 F15?  |
The holes are in the same place as in the 2011. They changed the receiver screw holes for no reason that would make sense to me. So the issue is that I've got a $800 bike carrier that I can't use and the new one would cost me over $1000. Not sure about anyone else but spending $1800 for something that could have been left as it was is a problem. Planned obsolescence to the extreme.
