None

Item Interest

I'm looking to buy a roof rack built for the E90 that connects into the 4 latch points on the roof, either the Thule from Europe (some U.S. buyers have managed to order them) or the OEM BMW one. If you want to sell, please let me know via PM. Thanks!

Get the BMW baserack and you can add the Thule top bars, so far Thule U.S has not release their version yet if you can wait then get the Thule if not this is the way to go.

Hmm.. any idea when Thule will be offering their version here in the US? I just got my new mt. bike, and I'm itching to go!

BTW, if I order the BMW OEM base rack and bars -- are you saying that all the Thule accessories will be an OEM fit (e.g. bike carrier, snowboard carrier, etc)?

Bump... I'm looking again.

OEM BMW rack at the U.S. dealer is made by Thule (Thule Rapid Aero Bar)....all Thule attachments can be used on the OEM BMW rack with the correct Thule Xadapt Adapters...

the OEM BMW base rack look the best (also priced good at around $100 online)..

the picture in my avatar is fuzzy..but that's my OEM BMW base rack and thule 4 snowboard carrier...looks much better and cleaner than any basic thule square or yakima round set up....

JSpira had some for sale some time ago. Find out if he still has them.

I don't think you can place the Euro Thule version via U.S dealer, please take a look at the link magmd listed above.
