Z4 Bike Rack - in case you need one!

[a11y]

Luckily the Z4's the first car I haven't had to figure out a bike carrying solution too - this was always my area of "expertise" on other car club forums LOL. I've got a VW T5 to do those duties now

I did think this was the best solution though: http://www.birdautomotive.com/Bike%20Rack%20BMW%20Z4.htm

BMW Z4 Bike Rack inserted into Receiver Pipes:

The Z4 trunk opens without touching the Rack, Two Straps from inside the Trunk attach to the Rack. Paint is protected:

Rack stores easily in the trunk:

6 ft Xanadu Rocket Fish board. Never thought I would buy a Surftech, but it makes me wonder why I surfed a thruster for 20 years...(This has to be a niche subject on this forum!) Went to look at the new Z4 to see if the 'hatch' would allow a surfboard to slide in - fat chance. The boot in the new Z4 was a bit of a joke imho

Just had a quick look... nice board! Wish I could surf a thruster. Mine's a swallow tail rather than a full fish... its a little too short for me - for my ability I should probably have a mini-mal - but that'd probably act like an air brake and pull the roof off!

Any chance there's a roof rack option for the new Z4? Anyone?
