Yes, you can!
Yes, it is scary!

But the results are VERY good.
One in the trunk

Looks scary.

jpdchicago · 04-04-2017, 05:58 PM

Really scary! Got one the exact same color so really hits me in the guts to see that. You are brave my friend!

Seems to be ready for the track

Nomana · 04-05-2017, 02:19 AM

This's what I call "track purpose"

TT1351 · 04-05-2017, 05:26 AM

That's one way to do it!

schnell325 · 04-05-2017, 09:29 AM

So a keg of beer will fit too?

900 plus miles. 70-85mph (maybe a 90). The scariest thing was the crazies on I-15 from San Diego to Pahrump NV and back. Surprised how little the strong crosswinds affected the car.
The only way for me to get tires to the track. Ran out of money for a truck and trailer.
Be brave, try it.

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.

I am working hard to get this standard option on all BMWs in the M4.
