Hi. I have a 2009 328i couple and need the support system and bike rack. Can you help?

Sure. The rack bases are engineered for specific years and model. You order the specific one for your car. I took my time and the install took less than an hour. It can be removed with no indication it was ever there. Re-install less than 10. Rock solid on the car.

I only purchased the base support but have had great success using it to support my non bmw equipment. Easy install and solid base structure.

I did not order them and it works fine, it comes with two long rubber inserts. I ordered mine from Minitonka BMW Amazon. I also bought the touring bike rack. Everything came with each order.

I suspect it probably will. My wife and I purchased a new 2012 BMW 328i (hard top) convertible last July (2013) from a local BMW dealer. The dealer had the vehicle on the lot for some time and was anxious to liquidate it. Being unfamiliar with BMWs, my wife and I started investigating all the various options and ran across the wind screen. In looking it over, we ran across a video demo which was helpful - I can't recall where we found the demo. In any event, they showed certain access holes in the back seat area (top) where the screen would attach (which we had in our vehicle). I also contacted our dealer (who also carries the wind screen) and he indicated it would fit. So we gave it a try and it worked perfectly. It greatly reduces wind disturbances for the front seat passengers. The only problem we've found is that if there is a significant cross wind, it can collapse the screen. Hope this helps.

You have two options, 1) In the BMW rack itself you can switch the mounting brackets very easily to mount the rack like in the picture, (I got 2 racks and that is what I did with one of them) in order to have both bikes facing front; or 2) Leave the rack as is and mount one bike facing front and the other facing back.

No, I would recommend buying the Thule base support over the bmw though. The Thule base locks on and looks much better as it sits about 2 inches lower than the bmw. Also easier to load and unload then.

Thule's website has a vehicle identification program on their website that will tell you every option they have that will fit your vehicle. At times they discontinue products as was the case with my vehicle; then you might try contacting a bicycle company of your choice such as (bike barn.com) and they can perhaps look back and see if Thule ever made a rack for your vehicle and then if discontinued you can do a search on amazon for your fit kit you need, as did I, successfully.

I have been looking for the parts kit that used to be offered but I canot find it anywhere and the seller does not respond to this issue. Don't buy it if you want to be able to fix it when it brakes.

I would just place them both on the back wheel. There should be enough toom on the frame.

Thanks all. I purchased it. Now it is time to find a mountain bike fitting for it. Any suggestions?

I have a 2006 550i and the rack fits perfectly, but Minnesota BMW customer service sucks. The rack I received was was poorly packaged and was cosmetically demaged they never made it right.

I would not waste your money on this product. I'd strongly suggest an upgrade to the Bones. It works great and we love the secure feeling we have using it. According to Saris fit guide, your vehicle will accommodate the bike rack, check for yourself http://www.saris.com/en/vehicle-racks.html

Can't answer directly since I have a 328i. I think you need to contact the company directly, as they were very helpful. In my case, I placed the order via Amazon, and the company called ME to confirm year/make/model to ensure it would fit my car. Great customer service right there!

Watch, chest sensor and instructions. There is a set that comes with the support for the bike but is not longer available in the stores I have looked. They are trying to sell every accesory separately.

I just spent a few minutes trying to find anything on parts for this. the only things I could find were the manual and racks. if you still have any of the paperwork that came with it, see if there is troubleshooting or a support number.

This is a bike rack that mounts to a 2 inch receiving hitch. Google your car name with receiving hitch and you will see the part you will need. Then a mechanic will need to install that for you.

I don't know - but I had a similar question about my Acura RDX. Call them - there is a huge list of cars (and bike rack setup instructions) and helpful people out there.

Yes. Definitely. That's the exact year and model BMW I have. When I traded up to the 2008 last year I was irritated to find that my perfectly good rack for my old 2001 325i was very close but would not quite fit the newer car. However, I'm very glad I bought the new rack. It mounts much more easily than the old one used to, it looks better, and I got almost as much money selling the old rack on-line as I paid for the new one.
