Very nice. Somehow your photos are not showing in general but I see the links when I reply to the post.


I ended up going with the Kuat NV 2.0 4 bike rack. All of these are big but you need it to carry 4 bikes.

Thanks. Fixed. I had to resave some files as they were flipped 180 degrees the wrong way, which is why I didn't upload them through the forum the first time.

Those look nice as well and I believe I cross-shopped them. Ultimately, the number of favorable reviews for the Thule and the slightly cheaper price won me over.

That reminds me that I need to buy some hooks to hang this thing in the garage. Have you done anything like that with your bike rack when it's not attached? I was thinking two of these on a stud should hold it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...GP9WRRHW&psc=1

I am not quite sure about these. The rack is almost 100 pounds. You should check the weight limit and also distance from the wall.

I do know that some people use these, they work for all brands. Basically it is like having another 2" hitch on your garage wall. Price is higher than I would have liked.

I ended up going with a wierder solution. My vehicle is often outside the garage, so I got this wooden cart thing that allows me to take it off and put it on all the time without straining myself. I think it is overpriced and normally I would just build it myself but very busy these days. But they only make for the Kuat now (probably because they own that rack). It just stays on the wooden cart against the wall in the garage.

Got new 19" rims with a 35 offset. The prev winter rims had a 38 offset based on the configurator and rubbed. I'm happy with the look and the drive.

Nice to see some more silver M40i's
Does that Thule attach to the tow bar attachment then?

It goes into the 2" hitch receiver which in the US can be installed from the factory or aftermarket. I went aftermarket with a Draw-Tite hitch. In other parts of the world, I've seen the tow hook/bar that swings out. Since that already has a ball on it, I don't think it will work. However, I'm sure someone has come up with a solution somewhere (either BMW, or Thule, or one of our esteemed forum members), I just haven't seen it.

Mounted the winter set and I just might favor this look over the stock 21s. Square setup on 19" and 245/50/19 blizzaks.

Are the tires now also silver or is that just deceptive?
BTW: looks great...

Finally got around to installing the gloss black badges from IND. Also put on the BMW hitch cover because why not. Still waiting on my correct driver side boomerang to arrive from IND and then all that's left at this point is tint on the front windows and then legit pictures.

Actually found them on Craigs list. They were literally 5 miles from my house. $1000.00 for rims, tires, lugs, and tpms. Staggered 20" rims and tires (factory size). Tires are Nitto snows with less then 1000 miles on them. The fitment and ride are amazing.
