Does anyone fit their mountain bike in the E92?

bk_g80_m3 · 07-26-2013, 05:08 PM

I noticed the back seats fold down, and it seems like there is enough space to shove a bike through with the front wheel removed.

Anyone do it?

Sure man..saw 2 other treads with bike in trunk of E92

Like you said...remove the front wheel to gain some space

I wouldn't cram my bike into my car. It's too big, pointy, and usually dirty. Supposedly the BMW roof crossbars are quite good. I've been considering them for some time.

If a Christmas Tree can fit in the M3, so can a mountain bike.

A Christmas tree... ask that to my vriend mdosu

mdosu · 07-26-2013, 06:22 PM

1moremod was able to fit his bike in the trunk, also a lot of other junk in his rear

1MOREMOD · 07-26-2013, 06:29 PM

I use my x5 for daily duty but don't carry my bike around. My m3 has cage so no go there.

U guys ever heard of the sea sucker bike rack? I've had it for a few months works really well! And it doesn't stay on and ruin the look of a car with the bike rack

I would never use one. First you are putting suction cups on your paint - high potential for scratching. Second you are relying on suction cups for stability - high potential for failure. Why not use the BMW rack with the fixed mounting points on the roof? Their is no better system and it takes minutes to install / remove.

OP - you can fit a mountain bike in your trunk with the seats folded and front wheel removed.

M3Carbon · 07-26-2013, 07:44 PM

The answer is yes with the front wheel removed.

nks_bb · 07-26-2013, 08:06 PM

I did on my e92... Mind you it wasn't an M but the space should be the same.

1MOREMOD · 07-26-2013, 08:12 PM

I know mdosu ties a rope to his bumper and pulls his wife behind the car with varied success.

CanAutM3 · 07-26-2013, 08:47 PM

I do.

Just remove the front wheels and I can fit 2 bikes in the back

Ugh, you beat me to it!!

dt34 · 07-26-2013, 10:06 PM

I fit my tri bike in my 335 w/ the front wheel removed no prob.

larryn · 07-26-2013, 10:47 PM

Me too, front wheel off, and no prob with mountain bike 29er.

bk_g80_m3 · 07-27-2013, 12:44 AM

Awesome! Thanks for the answers dudes! I however have changed my mind to the E90. I read the baby seat thread in this forum and it seems having the extra doors is a must for kiddo duty.

I assume the sedan has a similar amount of space.

And to address the dirt/grease concerns I would just throw a tarp underneath the bike.

I am just not a fan of roof racks. That is why I want to chuck a bike back there.

FLOSS M · 07-27-2013, 07:37 AM

It will fit just fine. Take the front wheel off and slide the back wheel of the bike in first with the seats down.

flanast · 07-27-2013, 08:15 AM

My bike fits in easily with front wheel off and back seats folded down

happos2 · 07-27-2013, 08:26 AM

Fit my Stumpjumper FSR S-works (Large) in the trunk of my E92 with front wheel off no problems. You should be good to go. If you wanted even more room, just lower the seat at well!

Get a BMW roof rack and you are set.
