    Bike Racks? got 'em? rec. them?

    I need a new or used good condition bike rack for a 4 dr. E30.

    I'll prob buy a new one cause my bikes are kinda pricey and I like 'em so any specific brands that you'd recommend and pics would be of great help. Thanks ! hurry! hot season is here and I need to ride my bikes at the next beach trip!

            I've got two of these, an older version though. They work with any bike I've tried so far; road, BMX, DH, XC and they seem pretty secure with all frames. Also, you don't have to take a wheel off.

            Yakima is the world's leading brand of car racks, including roof racks, bike racks, hitch racks, and many more for all of life's adventures.

              awesome, yeah i think i may go with a roof rack. does anyone know if they make a thule like the yakima where you don't have to take any tires off?

              if not i may just go with the yakima.

                  yak 1A raingutter towers, 48" crossbars cut down, ~48" older style thule/yakima fairing also cut down to match the e30 windshield length. bike mount is a yak steelhead, also have a cargo basket for it. i hall the bikes around, as well as using it for carrying oversized items like a full futon and mattress, large shipping crates, wheels, fishing gear, etc.








                  in use:

                          the internet is amazing! i'll give thule this, they claim the clamp works on a larger diameter down-tube, if you're into that kind of thing. i was able to put a rocky mtn. rmx & a yeti 303r on my yakima & those are both pretty stout bikes. the yakima also worked with a 2.7 tire. barely.

                            Thule Sidearm, is in my opinion the only way to go for High end bikes. From carbon road bikes to Full downhill bikes.
