I did a search and didn't find anything directly related, but can a a Thule bike rack fit to the BMW roof rails? (this question is directed to anyone, not just you eurohb) __________________ | | | 06-26-2012, 04:23 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Orange County, CA Posts: 2,019 | why not just buy the oem rack for cheaper then the thule one and not having any issues with fitment? I don't know just my .2's but OEM or nothing i see __________________ V2 in progress.

I'm trying to find dimensions of the BMW rails so I can see if the bike rack will need to be modified __________________ | | | 06-26-2012, 06:11 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 1,464 | I'm not quite sure how the Thule attachment system works, but if it is clamp-on, it will most likely fit (but may require some minor modification). If it is some sort of modular system, it may not. I have the OEM racks and an aftermarket Inno bike mount and it works fine. I also have the OEM snowboard mount (also NLA) and while it attaches to the rack nicely, it leaves a little to be desired, performance wise. I can take a look at my racks a little later today and get some measurements for you. | | | 06-26-2012, 06:16 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Orange County, CA Posts: 2,019 | __________________ V2 in progress.

I think I may have to get a white one! | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
