Yes, I have to believe it will support the carrier just like the E90/E92 M3 do. |

I hope that's the case as I use/transport my bike fairly often on my E46. In a pinch, I suppose the fold down rear seats will be ok for a single bike but would be nice if I could keep my BMW rack system to use on the F80.

FYI I am in Luxembourg (Europe) and our dealers have the M3/M4 on show this week only as part of a "car festival". I still have not heard back from my dealer but I hope he will confirm that a roof rack will be installable. I would only use it once or twice a year for ski holidays... |

Ah, I get it now. My apologies for just assuming that you were referring to an E9x and not considering the possibility of a show car displayed at a dealership.

Some just can't compromise the drive by getting into anything but a sports car.
Check this out, I guess AWD is kind of a compromise...: [IMG]**************************gallery/var/albums/Lamborghini-Aventador-roof-mounted-ski-box/Lamborghini%20Aventador%20roof-mounted%20ski%20box%20-%2004.jpg?m=1386625410[/IMG] |

Btw roofrack is not possible with carbon roof on the M3 or M4. Only in combination with sunroof (steel roof). It is mentioned in the small print of the german brochure.
Anyway, i'm keeping the carbon roof in my order...

OMG please we must have support system for M3. Put a windsurfer on top and women cannot stay away. Plus I really need it!
This is my justification for resisting the i8!

This is very disappointing. I was looking forward to CF roof on this M3, but I take my kids snowboarding almost every weekend and have to have a rack.

If this is true then why are there rack mounting points on the F80 CF roof?

I'm not disputing what the brochure says, but this makes no sense to me. It is not the roof that supports the rack, but a CF roof is supposed to be stronger anyway. It would be nice to clarify this point.

I'm sure a lot of folks will find it strange but for me this is the biggest disappointment. I still have mine on order (or at least spot in line) but now it will need to be metal roof. |
