Bike Rack for F10 - no tow bar

I am looking to get a bicycle rack for my F10. I have no tow bar, so looking for a good quality rear mounted system for 3 or 4 bikes, that does not require a tow bar mount.

Does anyone have a recommendation for this type of bike rack?

I am UK based ... I saw this 'Saris Bones 3 Bike Rack' from Evans Cycles (currently for £130.50) ... looks good, but I have never used a bike rack on a car before ...

Cheers ...

I would only ever use a tow bar cycle mount or (and preferably) a roof mounted system. Thule is the best and what I use.

You can't go wrong with Thule or (german engineered) Uebler bike carriers.

I used the Saris RS, it's easy to slap on and doesn't scratch the car. It'll hold up to 3 bikes.
