Thanks LevinBR, our set up is used so much to get things home. Timber, furniture, spare rim, luggage, it handles it all.

Which rack did you get and is it worth it in your estimation? I kind of shy away from the idea of my board fluttering in the wind and stuff when I can fit in in a bag inside the car. But I would like to maybe have that option. Just would like an informed opinion, as you're a Coloradian. Thanks!
Thanks SoX1derful. To answer your question, I have had a paddle and long(skate) board on the rack, no issues with handling them at all.

The basket I bought is here:

I also opted for Thule Wing bars edges as the OEM BMW seemed a little high off the roof to me? Plus, I have always run Thule products over the years and they have never let me down. Link:

Hope that helps . By the way, I'm from Australia
