One thing that I find odd is that BMW has discontinued the snowboard rack mount for their factory racks. Three different dealers that I went to were out of them and all three tried to order and showed that the part had been discontinued. Finally found one at Crevier in Santa Ana. Woohoo!
if anyone is still looking for a 225 Thule rack, I've one that's been sitting in my garage that I'm going to part with soon. Keep an eye out and I'll try to get a posting in the classifieds asap.
