///E90ZCP: Racking Up

advans · 11-18-2012, 07:55 PM

So! Winter is coming! I took off my hood flag and decided to buy a roof rack! snapped some pics today in Park Slope Brooklyn. OEM BMW Rack with a Thule 38" fairing wrapped in matte black. putting some work on my snow rack... more pics to come!

Nice! How did you get the fairing to work with the oem base? I tried to get it to work and it wouldn't stay on right.

Looks good.

I like it but I would ditch the fairing. I had one on a previous car and 1- I noticed no reduction in wind noise or improvement in aerodynamics, 2 - it ended up scratching my roof. I just don't think Thule has engineered all that great of a product... It seems silly to add a fairing and then have the big hand-screws sticking up into the path of the wind.

Alen E90 · 11-19-2012, 04:48 PM

your E90 looks GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ended up installing the knobs upside down, added foam padding on the bottom side of the fairing, it should be fine!
