I keep my cars in the garage and load the bikes up at night so I can hit the road faster in the morning, so a trailer hitch is a must for me. Plus, I know I'd be "that guy" that forgets the bike's on the roof and pulls in :0

I knew at least one person would make this ignorant statement. The car is designed as a more performance oriented, but still street leagel, 1 series. If I wanted a track only car, I'd get a dedicated track car. When I'm not driving to or from cycling I enjoy spirited driving which is why I currently have a sports car to fullfill that need. Porsche offers a roof rack for bikes on the 911, so using a perfomance car for more than performance driving isn't that obsurd of an idea.
