Roof rails are not an option.

I received a 4 bike hitch carrier last winter as a gift that I just unpacked/installed today and the receiver on the bike carrier is longer than BMW OEM receiver allows so the pin holes don't line up.

I'm leaving for a long trip in 48 hours and don't have the tools to cut the 1/4" I need off of the steal 4 bike hitch carrier tongue.

I thought there was a bracket that could be bought to mount the bikes, front wheel removed on the floor rails inside the back? I can't find them on BMW website.

I'm going to have to run to Dicks and try another hitch mount bike carrier but am worried all of them will not fit into the BMW OEM receiver.

Anyone else struggle with this?

Ideas? Not looking to spend more than $200 and will likely have to craigslist my one that doesn't fit unless I can find someone with a plasma torch.
