That is hilarious! Undoubtedly using the OEM mounting threads. And seems to be hauling something heavy. It probably makes contact with the roof seeing the minuscule gap between metal and wood.

Has anyone else called BMW North America and BMW Germany?
Has anyone else called BMW North America at 1(800) 831-1117 and BMW Germany? We as consumers need to voice our opinions when something is not correct or address such as NO roof rack mounts on the M4 Carbon Fiber Roofs.
Because I just did again, for them to address this issue. BMW M Division this needs to be addressed and fixed ASAP! Not acceptable Last edited by DCG; 06-06-2018 at 03:27 PM.. |

Sadly nope. M3 shares the trip piece between roof top and side of the car with 3 series so it has the flaps at all 4 corners. However, there is only carbon fiber under the flaps. Not sure if the regular sunroof roof can support bike racks

...this was part of the reason I specifically searched for an M with a sunroof
...that and the fact that I can mount my GoPro on the sunroof during track days! |

Other solution is to install the clamp version crossbars but I'm not a fan of this version.

OK guys an M4 lover here. Unfortunately with the current M4 with Carbon Fiber Roof there is NO actual roof mounting brackets/bolts for a Thule Rack. For some reason they did not include that, to me it's a total F-up, because the previous model had that. You can only get the bolts with the Metal w/Sunroof option. I don't care about having a metal roof, BUT I do NOT want a sunroof. I don't get why it's not included and they have not fixed it yet. It can't be a structural thing because it bolts into the frame of the roof pillars.
I just looked at the brand new M5, here is a photograph of the roof mounting/bolt. Can anyone tell me is it actually functional on the new M5. On the new M5 it appears there is now only one mounting point instead of two. I am working hard to get this standard option on all BMWs in the M4. |
