anyone have a pair of the bmw roof bars that fit the e46? Have had a hard time finding a pair and yakima/Thule want over $400 for theirs in the store.

Yeah, they're not cheap then you add shipping to add to the cost... GL

How much do they typically run (if you're talking about a used set of the BMW ones)?

Check out facebook marketplave or CL.
I got a Thule with 1 bike rack for 125 a few years ago on CR.

Not local to you, here is one...

Shipping on something like that could be a deal killer. For the E46 wagon I got some Volvo thule racks for 99 on ebay with shipping, I think the guy paid over 30 to ship from CT to NJ.

I have to agree with Warren regarding shipping costs. If you’re not local then unless the purchase price also includes shipping costs... expect to pay more to ship this depending on what you’re getting.

I have a Thule roof rack setup with two bike racks and a fairing and the whole setup is not light when packaged together...

Are you just looking for the the two OE BMW cross bars?

[Sockethead]

I see you posted over on e46f... there are two sets listed there, did you check those out?

Yeah just the cross bars. I think I've decided to just go with the Yakima set up. Rei is running a labor day sale right now which makes the price slightly lower on them. I was also able to buy a fairing and set of the cross bars off Craigslist since those aren't vehicle specific ill only be buying the towers/mounts new. I also already have bike trays for the Yakima rack. Thanks everyone for the help.
