[extremeOH]

Hi, anyone has a BMW rear bicycle rack install on their sedan BMW? I am looking for one to transport my bicycle, anyone care to recommend?
Heard buying from PML is very expensive, any alternative?

Thanks

I would like to take a look at this BMW branded rack. I have tried those bike shop's rack before, thought it will be good if any of the bros out here can give a review of the BMW branded rack and where they bought it from beside PML.

The BMW bike rack seems to be able to anchor through the hooks at the bumper area, Saris bones has many contact points on the car body hence more chances of scratching the car. Hence though of considering BMW's bike rack as an alternative.

If this is the 1, I don't think you can get it any where else other than PML.

Yes, it is. Regretfully. Think might have to settle for Saris Bones.

Unless you are riding MTB or ferrying your kids' bike, just ride from home.

I checked with PML, the bicycle carrier listed above cost $9k!
Decided to settle for Saris Bones instead.

For half the price, u can fly to USA or UK to have holiday + buy bike rack.

The Allen Sports AL02 is pretty cool too. Collapse nicely into a small bundle when u don't need it.

Can try Lam Sing (Thule) or Wheelers Yard.
