Haven't looked around yet but the saris is the one of choice I believe.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have one that I bought from a member on here. I was going to use it on my E85 but then sold it.

Here is the original link to the sale advert. I'm just looking for the same as I paid for it £75 including UK postage.

Let me know if you are interested.

No, I don't know much about them I'm afraid, I bought this one because it was what everyone else uses and was recommended. I'm sure someone else will jump in and let you know.

I use Sea Suckers on my e86 (there's a few other brands about now), they work really well. I've used them on a few cars over the years, and been all over Europe with them

Same here, albeit that I use the Rockbros variant: https://www.rockbrosbike.de/product_inf ... bikes.html

Thats my old MC with the Saris Bones 3 carrying a hardtail MTB. Worked beautifully.
Just make sure you get some hatch saver things to soften the connection inside the car shut lines. Halfords do them pretty cheaply.

Here's a review of the Sea Sucker if you're interested and the reviewer actually tested it on an E86

Bought a saris solo and hopefully it works out. Thanks for the offer and reviews.

For future reference and because I happened to use it today, here's some pictures of a Rockbros suction cup bike carrier on my E86 coupe. Works a charm. :thumbsup:
