  • Roof Rack, Cargo Box and Paddleboard Carrier Recommendations for a 2010 BMW 335i Coupe
  • The Inno roof rack # INXB100-2, and # INXS100 is a great choice for your 2010 BMW 335i coupe. Any rack is going to take a little time to take off. But the great thing about that is the more you install and remove the rack the easier and faster it gets. For a compatible cargo box I recommend the Horizon, # SR7011. For a SUP/surfboard carrier I recommend the Thule SUP Shuttle, # TH811XT. It will fit the Inno crossbars. I have linked a video review of this carrier as well. Please consult...

  • Is there aTrailer Hitch for a 2007 BMW 328xi Sedan and Options for Carrying a Bike
  • We have several options for you to carry your bikes. The Curt Hitch # C11033 will fit your 2007 BMW 328xi sedan. This would be my recommendation for carrying Bicycles. You could then choose a bike rack like the Curt C18085 to carry 1 or 2 bikes. There is no advantage to purchasing a ballmount and trailer wiring before you need it, but you certainly can do so if you want to. You could also add a roof rack. You will need 3 items for a roof rack. First, Thule Rapid Podium Roof Mounted...

  • Bolt Holes of Pintle Mount # 63056 Matching Up with Mounting Holes of Spare Tire Carrier # TR-1
  • As you can see in the photo, the bolt holes of the # 63056 and the # TR-1 and # UF15-954730 will not match up. Although you could drill additional holes in the tire mount that would match up with those of the pintle mount, the two pieces really are not meant to work together. Another concern I have is that the Ultra-Fab and Stromberg Carlson spare tire tire carriers are meant to be used for trailer tires which are typically smaller and lighter than wheels/tires used on a car, truck or...

I recommend measuring your height and width of your bars to make sure. It...
