Check that out mate, although it is a bit of work.
E30 quick racks are avalible but Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£
I think the e36 on means you can't have a 6 branch :cry: although not sure.

If you look in the articles section under technical there is a guide on fitting the e36 rack, I'll be doing this conversion myself someday when I get around to it :lol:
