I think there might be a a rack that fits, but I’m not comfortable with the scratches and the pressure on the lightweight boot lid.

Agree on this. It's made from sheet moulding compound (SMC) material so it won't behave the same as other metal material when it's twisted or damaged.

Better to see whether G20 towbar can be fitted to the G29 then use towbar mounted bike rack.

I have a saris bones on my z4 (It is an e85 model though not a g29). Rack sits on bumper and boot lid and ties down with straps that I have added a small amount of bicycle inner tube inside the clips to stop them scratching the paint

Me also. I only used it once or twice so far, but it is surprisingly stable for the one mountain style bike I've carried.
