Rent a bike whereever you at for that price.

Too expensive! I would rather rent a SUV/station wagon for the transportation of my bike.

FYI - I finally settled for this $63 Allen aluminum bike rack.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I wouldn't trust this thing to drive across the states but for a few miles, it is perfect. |

This is interesting. I’m investigating the possibilities to transport my bike on the Z. I already have my thule device that is perfect for the job. It’s a light steady device (easy to mount, easy to remove) that mounts on a trailer hitch/hook, but I don’t have a hitch on my Z.
Does anyone know if the “rear click-on cross member” include mounting hardware and trailer hitch? It is very important that the hitch easily can be removed and will be invisible when not in use. I don’t care about the electric part/connection that normally comes with a trailer hitch since I’m never going to tow a trailer with my Z |

sorry - I don't know the answer (I stopped to investigate this solution for it was too expensive). Probably your dealership can answer. I agree with you: a trailer hitch on a Z4 will, most def, look ... uuuh how can I say, and you will very likely get some comments from your neighbours as well

Potholes and speed bumps have a way of catching you off guard, as owners of a lot of bent and/or cracked 296 wheels will attest to!
