Does anyone use a bike (as in pedal) rack on their E30 aloon/coupes? If which one is best and where can I get it from?

I use a roof rack type. You won't damage your paint and you can still open your boot.

Have used a hang-off-the-back type before, but didn't like how it attached. I then found that, wheels removed and with care, I could fit two bikes in the boot.

I couldnt fit one bike in the boot of my Sport - issues with front fork size I think

Thought about a roof rack, but heard it can damage the black gutter trim. So I bought the best bike carrier ever - a touring

I use an old one called a "grabber" does the job for me can take 3 bikes on it too so no problems there then! It's pretty old though
