Meds 3.0si Coupe - Update: Rear panel paint

[Meds]

My new bike rack arrived so a quick test fit was in order:



This has been keeping me awake at night so it was time to address:


A new wing has turned up from BMW and I plan to get this painted and fitted within a few weeks. But we all know how putting timelines on DIY jobs, working around general life responsibilities, is a bad idea.

That is suspiciously clean for a cross bike with that level of shifter tilt

Lovely setup - what make/model, and do the wiper arms clear it? I have similar, albeit the front is a large singular cup so it has to go on the roof instead of the windscreen.

That's a good point about the wipers.
This was a test fitting to check location and I will move it backwards onto the roof panel if I need to..
Annoyingly, the rear suction cup is refusing to suck. So a replacment is on the way.

Regarding the cleanliness. It had it's 6monthly clean a few weeks back, as it was being used for road duties recently.
It's never that shiny.! It had a coat of Soft99 Fusso after it's last clean, too.

Looks good with the bike on the roof. Have you used it in anger yet?

I’ve test fitted mine, but am yet to use it. The Seasucker is actually a bit awkward to use with the bubble roof so my bike is at a bit of a jaunty angle.

That's interesting about the SeaSucker and a reason why I didn't opt for that design as I thought it might sit odd.
Thanks for the info.

Nope, not used yet. To be honest it'll probably be a while before it's used on the Z4 as I'll only use it when I need to cycle back from my mechanic. Rarely.

It was mainly purchased for use on my Touring with a huge flat roof. (But still used yet)

Could you turn the bike around so it's facing backwards, SeaSucker on the rear screen?

Love this combination of colours and mechanical parts. The wheels, spacers, callipers and discs work perfectly together.

I used it for the first time today and it was fine to be honest. I did stop a few times to make sure it was Ok.

Mine will be used pretty regularly, but I’ll steal the touring for longer trips and use the tow bar carrier.

I dropped the new rear arch to the bodyshop.. They took a reading from the door and will match best they can, if after fitting it's not absolutely bang on, they will blend into the door at a later date. Nice.
