I am considering fitting a toe bar to my BMW and then using tow bar mounted bike rack. I intend carrying 2 EMTBS.
Looking at options I have short listed 2 racks and I am wondering if anyone here has experience of either one to help me decide.
Option 1: Thile EPOS 2 bike carrier
Option 2: Buzzrack Scorpion Pro 2.

The Thule is double the price of the Scorpion and highly recommended by BikeRadar so that plus the Brand...and price....suggest it is probably the safe choice...BUT is the much cheaper Scorpion just as good?

I've always had Buzz racks. Less refined than the German bling but never had any unexpected problems
Very strong with excellent quality welding. Carry 2 x Trek Rails (alloy) on our Buzzrack E-Scorpion 2 no probs.

thanks both. I suspect as you have said the Scorpion will do the job. In fact both myself and my son are in need of bike racks and he will buy the Scorpion based on your feedback. .....however I found a good deal on the Thule so I have decided to go for that one for myself. It will be interesting to compare them!!
