Will a mountain bike fit in an E30?

[Turd]

Yes. Wheels off, in trunk, frame in backseat. I've done it several times with my Cannondale Prophet. Get a rack, doing this more than once a week becomes annoying.

Check this out. On my track car (2dr) i put a fork mount on the floor board of the passenger seat.. ofcourse i had neither pass or rear seat. I just mounted my mt. bike there, put the wheel pump and gear in the trunk and went off. The reason i did this was so i can lock my bike inside the car.

Your best bet for a roofrack is going to be these forums, VWvortex, ebay, and craigslist. You need rain gutter style feet, which are reasonably common.

I did it a few times, both wheels and (if you have a big frame) seat off. Then the whole thing will tuck into the trunk.

Then I bought a roof rack, now I can carry 3 bikes at once!

I did it once. Both wheels off, bike shoe-horned in. I will never do it again though, its such a pain in the junk.

Both wheels off, it fit in the trunk with a little finagling. Bike, both wheels, trunk closed easily! I wouldn't make a habit of it but it sure beats taking a cab to Castro's!

just this past week i began to try to fit a mountain bike into my coupe that i wanted to bring from my mom's place. i took off the front wheel and it seemed like a lot of work and frustration after putting half the bike in, so i gave up and borrowed the suv instead. but it's good to know that it's possible in case I need to transport it in the future. anyone know where i can get a roof rack at the best price?

Roof racks do wonders.... see the sig, hah

[Ryann]

Mine will fit minus wheels and bars. It's big though.

trunk rack. do you really want to risk scratching your calypso paint or interior?

Dude, my paint looks like hell

I don't plan on doing it often, I just want to pick up my car from the shop and get a ride in at the same time. 2 birds / one stone, etc. I'm fat and need the exercise.

my 21" 29er fit in my 2 door. w/o the wheels. just get a blanket to cover it so it doesnt scratch things up.

[grantlacey11]

that works in my coupe

[grantlacey11]

take off both wheels and put a towl on the seat before putting the bike in..also put one around the handlbars to protect the window.

With out wheels mine fit in the trunk or back seat, medium frames and only front suspension x-country types. My road bikes fit like a jiffy.
