1M with roof rack and bikes

Stu1M · 05-27-2013, 02:11 PM

Well, as the 1M is my daily driver it needs to do all kinds of stuff. This includes carrying my mountain bike at times. I bought a genuine BMW base rack to which I added Thule carriers and fairing that I had already. It works great, really stable even at motorway speeds.

That must be a first

jan9 · 05-27-2013, 02:39 PM

That's impressive - never thought I'd see that!

DarthColin · 05-27-2013, 08:08 PM

I'm tempted to get the BMW base and a ski rack for next winter.

CarJunkie · 05-27-2013, 08:17 PM

Drive it for everything!

And I regularly put my bike on the roof.

Why not?

They exist. And judging by the license plate, it might belong to a UK forum fellow over here.

Maybe the roof rack should be wrapped or painted in VO too ?

Hi, if you are going to carry mountain bikes on the roof of your 1M, you could make sure that they are decent bikes .... :-)

And here I thought you were going to talk about the quality of the wood in the 4 x 4 posts on the roof....

hot-j · 08-19-2016, 08:30 PM

Here are a couple of mine...

ayao · 08-19-2016, 08:51 PM

Looks legit.

balloonsalesman · 08-24-2016, 01:17 PM

Will be driving the 1M from Montreal to San Fransisco very soon, a little extra storage was needed

hot-j · 08-25-2016, 12:21 AM

Couple more

randouser81 · 03-04-2019, 05:06 PM

that rack setup looks hawt

Soterios · 03-04-2019, 05:35 PM

Threads like this are why the "Are Ms special?" thread was so funny. One man's "special" is another man's "Ehhh throw the logs on the 1m"

blackmist222777 · 03-05-2019, 10:35 AM

I freaking love all these shots! That last one with the LSB M3 is special to me since i have also owned both cars
