The rack is now discontinued, in the Uk at least, BMW not selling enough apparently! I am furious as there are no other ways to carry a bike on this fantastic car. The fact that the BMW website and GC catalogue show this constitutes serious misrepresentation as no other aftermarket options work due to the fibreglass boot lid.

I guess you have two options, complain to BMW UK or "import" from Germany or the likes, I can't see why they wouldn't at least fit it. Last edited by SCZ4; 05-26-2014 at 03:54 AM.. |

That's not what my dealer has told me? So I'm really confused as posted in the other thread I've just ordered a GC last week ......see my other post and have also ordered with it and it is on my invoice to S&F Deler Fit Rear Bike Rack - £1,189.19 + vat I'm not expecting delivery until late August or Sept so surely they can sourest this from some where through out the world as part of my £81k + purchase!

help from US friends?
Goodies - thanks You are correct very disappointing now for a re-think? I wonder if these parts are available from the US or another other country although my dealer is implying its a model year thing from 13 onwards so maybe it's linked to design changes rather than lack of demand? Anyone state side know if we can source these parts from US dealer?

Bike Rack for 6 Series Convertible
After 14 weeks of liaising with my dealership I have been informed that despite the BMW website showing 2 bike racks available for the F06 (6 series convertible) they are no longer available.
The click-on accessory system was available for F06 up until production date 06/2013. At this point a change to the vehicle coding module meant that this accessory would no longer fit but it has not been removed from their website. However apparently a new click-on system is in development and due to launch in Aug/Sept 2014 and will fit vehicles going back to production date 07/2013. Not happy! |

Would like to know more about this too. I want a 640D GC next, but carrying bikes is essential.

I used the Saris Bone3 on my F10. It works great, not sure why you guys would want to spend the extra dollars. This will not scratch or hurt your car.

Used the same Saris on my 535 GT perfectly. Carried 3 bikes easily. Bit of a pain to put on or use the hatch once on but it WAS great.
Now however, with the composite trunk lid on my 640 vert, I'm too afraid to try it. |

Had the same problem. I went for a Seasucker. Really easy to use. Main cups on the sun roof rear cup on the rear screen rock solid. Just need to purchase a wheel bag for the front wheels to keep the interior clean.
