[KINNY529Glad]

Hi all, I realise this question has probably been asked in the past, did a search but couldn't find anything!!.......... does anyone know of a good rear bike carrier for a Z4??

Coupe or roadster?

I have a roadster and I use Saris Bones, for 2 bikes. Works well for me. It is well made and I like the design. The weight is taken mostly on the bumper.

Saris Bones ftw.

I remember seeing a zed a noticed 2 tubes sticking out, just below the rear bumper.
The owner said they were for a bike rack?

Probably the Masterhitch one Fred. http://www.masterhitch.com/
A bit ott imo and requires some welding/installation shennanigans.

I've had 4 different bike racks so far but the Saris bones 3 is def a keeper. It just works everytime and is light!
It's also small enough to stash in the car when you arrive at your biking destination so no need to leave it attached and at risk of theft.

+1 for the Saris Bones. Mine is a two bike one and it is perfect

Been looking at the Bones EX2 to cover both my cars, assume it still fits the Zed fine. The issue I have, though, is the full susser bike I'm building has a bit of an unusual carbon frame shape so I have no idea if these sort of racks will work with it.

If you are interested, I have got this one that I bought from Inkey$ It's in excellent condition, I only used it to put on the back of my roadster, but then I sold the roadster so it's going spare. I would only want what I paid for it, £75 posted to any UK address.

Hi Shaun, Please can I buy the Bones bike rack from you if the OP doesn’t take it. I had a folding Montague Paratrooper bike that fitted in the boot but it was awful and the folding frame squeaked. I need a rack for my other not so squeaky bike! £75 is fine.

I haven’t heard anything from the OP, so yes this is all yours. I’ll drop you a pm.

I went with the Stealth hitch. Not cheap but very happy with the strength and the finished look. Did the install myself. Super easy. I use it only for a bike rack. I have a Saris. Much lighter and more wind resistant that others. No problem 85+mph

I'm slightly dumbfounded at the expense, effort and logic of putting a Saris rack on that Stealth mount?!?!
:?

Ahhh, the never subtle judgmental comments for no real reason or need. Let go my friend and be free. Love is all around you.
