it's bmw oem rack for e60....

so nobody's feeling it, huh?

"houston...houston....we got problem in my mod taste"

living in so. cal is all about outdoor....so I might have to sacrifice smooth look for what I enjoy I guess
To be honest, it's not that bad on your E60, I just prefer that look on the wagons. Let me post a pic of a 135i with a bike rack on the trunk, and you'll appreciate yours 100%. (and so will everyone else).

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.

how lovely

I have the same dilemna right now. I will have the bike rack on there. I've heard they're pretty easy to put on and take off so I think I'm going to put it on when I go biking...take it off when I'm done. Unless if I know I'll be going several days in a row, then I'll leave it on for a couple of days but when going out or whatever, it's coming off.
