Fairing for OEM Aero Roof Rack

[Don B]

Hi all

Have a BMW aero roof rack fitted, with Thule bike racks that work brilliantly.

Looking to maybe get a fairing for the rack, but can't seem to find one that fits the oem bmw rack.

Anyone have any tips or know where i could find one?

Was waiting for an update on how you're getting on with the bike rack :wink:

Going to go down the same route myself as I'm sick of taking the bike apart to put on the back seat :surprised: and the pins in my pedals are not leather friendly :crying: as I've found out the hard way.... You'd imagine it would go in the boot of the 5 but no chance even with the wheels off :huh:

Is it awkward putting the bike up and taking it down off the roof ?

I assume you tried ebay for a thule fairing?

Thats where i got mine from. Much more popular in the US

Very handy getting bikes on and off..literally takes 5 seconds to do, grab the bike by the forks and seat tube and lift it away.

Was using a rear bike mount on the back of a hatchback, but it was dodgy at any kind of speed...the Thule racks are very sturdy, up at 120 kmph on the M50 and no noise or anything with 2 bikes mounted.

Had a look alright, but all the posts on various forums say they don't fit OEM BMW aero racks.
