Bike roof rack picture needed

[emotorwerks]

Does anyone have a picture of an E34 with a bike rack on top? I found one post in the archives but the pic was gone.

I am trying to decide if I want to go with the full roof rack or a trunk rack. I would normally choose the roof rack but I want to know how it's gonna look first.

Thanks,
Jamie

Here is mine. Yakima Q-towers with 2 King Cobras and a Rocket-Box. I think I have a picture somewhere with just the bike, no box. If I can find it I'll post it.

I was just gonna ask the same questions. That lip is gorgeous

It was a dealer installed option and is no longer available, as far as I know. I have the original accesories book from BMW but it doesn't have any part numbers.

How much was the bike rack?

Here is the pic with just the bike rack. It is kind of small but I can't find the original picture

I don't remember exactly but it was around $300 for the rack and $200 for the King Cobra. The box I got used for $200.

I have Thule racks on mine. The bars are 50", the bike holders are 589, the surfboard rack (middle of car, that huge silver bag) is a 554. Picked some of the stuff on locally at a bike shop, other parts I got from orsracksdirect.com. Before you buy online check out something like froogle to see who has the best pricing. I got the stuff locally because shipping killed most of the savings and I needed the stuff in a hurry (my wife's volvo was supposed to be our trip vehicle but after she totalled it that killed that idea).

The combo isn't too loud on the highway. Don't open the sunroof though. I also keep the racks on only when I'm using them.

Sweet, thanks for the pics. The last one is the same color as my car so that helps even more.

What size wheels are those? They are friggin great!

[shanek]

Those wheels do look great but they sure aren't great. Two of them are now cracked, due to age, according to BBS. Just found out that its a common problem with these wheels. They are 17 x 8.5 BBS RS 3 piece.
