Go pick up an E63 wagon....
While you're at it get a Mercedes bicycle, too.

Actually not very expensive when compared to really good Italian bikes......

Thanks for you those smart-*** comments here 
I was more wondering if anyone got done hidden custom made hitch with bike rack on it. This is the only safe option I think. Roof racks are OK, but after I saw couple of times cars going to underground garages with bikes still on the roof I am not going that way.

I race road bikes and have been struggling with this...
You can pop the rear seats in the trunk, fold them down, remove both your front and rear wheels via quick release, put the frame inside there and the wheels will sit around the frame, but it's not convenient.
I've done it a lot, but when I go for training rides or races, I try to take my wife's car...
I have not researched a roof rack or rear rack yet... If there was one that could come on and off easy and not damage the paint, I'd consider it.

I also race bikes and just pop the front wheel off and drop the seats - I have a 61 cm frame and even that size it is fine.
