Ski rack recommendation

jjschube · 03-16-2022, 01:51 AM

Hello, anyone have a recommendation for a good ski rack. I'd like one that's easy to take on and off. Thanks

Thule

The bmw oem roof racks are super easy to put on and off. Most Thule accessories work with it so I'd say get an oem roof rack and the Thule ski rack attachment. Roof rack can hold about 70 lbs and is just 4 bolts

BMW or Thule rack with the Thule box. Thule also - at least they used to - sells a crank up lift system to lift the box off the car and store it suspended from your garage ceiling.

BMW roof rack + Thule addons. The BMW roof rack once set (post the first setup) is super easy to take out and put back. It takes maybe 10mins to put and 10mins to take it out. I go Kayak often and always load it on M2C over my X5. It's so easy ..

BMW roof rack is made by Thule. Very easy to use and all the Thule attachments work.

Yep OEM works fine. Super easy to put on and take off. I think I have the old style ski attachment.

Everything related to that even if branded BMW is Thule .. even box

The Thule on my car was from a friend, I bought this one and put it on my other car with the same bars

Main advantage of Thule is that you can just buy the adapters very cheap and still use your bars … mine have been on a 3 touring, on my actual x1 and on the m2

Seasucker racks work brilliantly. Use their bike racks on my m2 and s2000 previously. Fits just about any car. Easy on off. Takes up no space in garage or trunk. Safe and strong suction.
Suggested them to my buddy who now uses a pair for his skis and a roof basket on his Ferrari 308 he’s been driving around the US for last 2 years. He’s been to all the big ski slopes from Colorado west. He even made it to the end of the ice road in prudhoe bay Alaska.

See briansquestionabledecisions on Instagram. You won’t be disappointed.
In addition to his 308, he also runs an old e24 m6, 928 and 996 carerra. All manuals.
Guy even rented me a pagoda merc sl for my wedding.
