E30 Roof Racks

[Low Level E30]

Yakima or Thule, which is better?

Or is there another better brand?

Where's the best place to buy 'em? What parts do I need to order?

Thanks!

I have a set of Thule. Mount to the rain rails. Work well for my snowboards and canoe when I had them on my old car

whichever you can find cheaper, they're both quality. personally I have a thule system which I use on the company car, I prefer the square bars to yakima's round. Round bars can be nice if you have something like a kayak holder, you can just rotate it down to fit in your garage.

Don't know any distributor in germany, around here I bought a couple of the components at REI. Ebay has tons. For a thule system, go to the webpage and it will tell you what "feet", fitkit (if neccessary), length of bars, etc. Punch those numbers in ebay, and start bidding.

I have thule for bike (clamp on the back drop outs on the front) and for snowboards. fit fine, noise isnt too bad, functional.

Yakima is my personal favorite, but I have used Thule also.

And the best part is that the two brands are now compatible. I have Yakima for my vans and Thule for the BMW and I swap bike carriers back and forth all the time.
