American BMW IX users: What is everyone doing if they have a bike and want to carry it?

I really would like to order an IX, but will hold off until a hitch is available.

Do they have any plans for it in the near future?

My dealer told me to consider sending the IX to the Stealth Hitch headquarters to have them design a hitch.
Apparently no American BMW comes with a hitch unlike its European counterpart.

Oh! I see. So you need to request for a tailored hitch. Wouldn't that take long? Or they will just take the measurements and send iX back to you?

Get an Ioniq 5 rotfl

I'd love it if Stealth Hitches made one. Anyone near Georgia that can send theirs in? They'll make it and install it for free:


I want to carry bikes on the back, not the roof!

We’ve used the Stealth Hitch on our x7 and it is great. Need a really good installer to make it look clean. They take out a pretty large part of the bumper and replace it

Per Stealth Hitch:

"We have an iX scheduled to come to our development facility the end if this month. Once that has happened we should have a hitch available in a matter of weeks.

Not sure of the exact timing, but I am thinking 4-6 weeks to go through Engineering, and then begin manufacturing. Hope to have it on the website for pre-orders approximately 2-3 weeks after the vehicle is at our facility for the development."
