Trying to find a two-bike rack for my 2004 ZHP Sedan. Anyone have any idea where I can get one?

Do you already have the base roof rack and you're looking for the bike racks themselves or what?

BMW OEM, THULE, and Yakima sell racks that will fit your zhp. I bought most of my thule stuff from either craigslist or ebay.

Basically I don't have anything.So I need to buy a base roof rack and then the bike racks? I just want my car to be able to carry a couple of bikes without scratching it or damaging it.

I found mine on craigslist as well. OEM base rack, 2 OEM bike holders, 2 OEM ski holders for $175. Deal!

Only caveat - you gotta be around 6' tall to easily get the bikes up there.

Bought my Thule base and faring online from a sporting goods site and the gutters on CL. Thing is bomb proof, I race everywhere on the east coast and it has never left me down.

Found them on eBay and Amazon. Roof rack $215. Each bicycle holder $139 from Thule. Total to hold to biked on my ZHP's roof: $493. Does this sound right? Seems a bit pricey.

Sounds about right.

Yep, that's about right as Dane said. Not cheap but if you take care of it it will last a long time. I had a Thule with the rain gutters on my e30 from 1991 to 2003 and used it hard. I still have it and was able to rig it to fit my wife's Land Rover. Darn thing is still in service.

Great, that's probably what I will get!
