Looking for a decent quality roof-top rack I can add attachments for bikes/skis/etc. It's getting warm out, I have no way to tranport my bikes, and I'm fat dammit! :)

TIA,

Ebay for Thule/Yakima stuff. http://www.orsracksdirect.com/ has decent prices. Either REI or Campor have some off brand bike holders that are identical to the Thule 591 for 20 or so cheaper.

My setup is:
Thule 369 Foot Pack
LB50 load bards
871 Fairing (helps keep the noise down a bit, esp with 3 surfboards on the car)
591 Long tray classic (for the bikes), qty 2
544 Hang Two Surf Carrier (for my surfboards)

I'm ordering an 830 stacker for my kayak as soon as the boat arrives.

Write me. I have a Yakima roof rack with fairing and two racks for sale. I have to go to storage to see what I have as I have not used it on the 535 yet. It was off my Civic SI but all you would need would be the clips. It has the 60" bars and locking cores.

I had Thule for our 525i sedan; they make a special tower that grips the rain gutter. I don't thing the traditional tower that fits generic rain gutters will work. The E34 has a very narrow gutter.
