I got roof rack on.

I asked few of my friends (non e60 owners)....most of them did not like the look of it.

what do you guys think as e60 owner?

I am aiming for sporty look+multi purposes ...----> i think e60 is only car
(family sedan that can be seen as sports car and outdoor venture)




Should I leave roof rack on or does it need to be off???

IMHO, take it off, contradicts with the lines of the car....

Are you serious? How about a "Soccermoms rule" sticker as your next mod ?

I can honestly say I would have never expected to even see "roof rack" and "mod" in the same sentence.

What brand is the rack? Does it leave any scratches?

Only rock that rack when you absolutely HAVE TO. In my opinion it is a stretch to call it a mod..it is truly an accessory, kind of like pocket protectors and sunglass side sheilds. Sorry but that has to GOOOOOOOOO

If you use it.. keep it on. I have it for my winter for boarding. =) its awesome with boards on it.


Keep it around when u go boarding, but take it off when u're done.
