Question Bike roof rack?

Hi, I'm thinking about upgrading to M6 from Mercedes CLK but I need to make sure I can get a bike rack on the roof Quick google did not find anything. Does the new model have the mounting points for the roof rails?

Thanks!

My. M6 GC with CF roof does not have rails as far as I can tell. I doubt the coupe does either with CF roof.

Not the car for this. No mounting gear.

thank you for the reply, thats very desapoiting I'm a Mercedes guy and the two I have now both have the small flaps along the roof line that lift up and you can mount the roof rails and then the bike rack. I love the new M6 but I don't want to buy another 'bike' car just to be able to move my bike and can't be taking my wives car all the time, although I guess she would not mind trading her E class for the M6 with me.

if you go for sunroof you lose the carbon roof which may well include the addition of roof mounts, I would check with a dealer

Sun roof is not an option on the M6.

Unless this project is sent to BMW Individual for some very personalized work, this will not be an option. The CF roof is an integral part of the M6 GC and Coupe.
