I've just got a new BMW 3 series great economy but useless for lugging stuff around like bikes. Can you recommend a suitable cycle carrier? I think BMW wanted £100 for their own make. Cheers.
Get a roof mounted system, bit more expensive to start but much better for the car in the long run. I got my three bike set up for £30 by buying second hand.
I've got this set up for my one series - the three series and one series racks are identical. You can get them for about £100 for the lot second hand but they tend to be collection only. Being a bit tight for cash at the time I bought a bargain collection only set for a 5 series, took the bike racks off and sold the bars on but with postage available. I got enough back to pay for a new set of the right one series bars from BMW!!! Been really pleased with it and regularly carry 3 bikes at motorway speeds.
