Need a car rack for my new 2002 325i ...

For the summer, I need to carry my road and mountain bikes. For the winter, skis and snow boards.

Anyone recommend a good rack? I was told Thule is the best (Sweeden manufacturer).

Anyone have any good/bad experiences with any particular brand?

Thanks.

I have the BMW rack, which I believe is made by Thule. I really like it. Search the archives here or on bimmerforums.com, there was a long thread on this subject a few weeks ago.

I have the Thule and love it. Here are the details with pics from my site:

I wouldn't get the BMW one just beause of the $$$ and the Thule has so many options!

Thule is the best, and most cost effective way to go. They manufacture the BMW racks for BMW as well (BMW rebadges the thule racks). The thule racks are modular, so you can get a base rack, and the mounting options you want/need. Go to the Thule website and plug in your car, or just follow this link, I did it for you... 2002 325 4 dr, Thule

By the way, I'm guessing DMB41, Dave Matthews fan?

I hear you. For me, the Gorge, WA Sept 5 and 6. The 8th and 9th time for me, respectively. Just saw him on May 23rd in Portland, OR (flew back the day before from Frankfurt - just finished Euro Delivery!).

I got the Thule rack from the rackwarehouse.com (think that was the site). Cheaper than buying from the local dealer here.
