Will the 2 bike carrier be suitable for 2011 M3 Coupe with carbon fibre roof

I am not sure if the carbon fiber roof will support it, however I can tell you that I have used the 2 bike carrier on the roof of a 2014 Cadillac SUV and the suction cups had to be attached to a plexiglass sunroof. Had no problems. I have traveled over 2,500 miles with the Cad with the bikes on the roof and the sunroof is still holding up.

The roof has clear coat just like paint so it will work. Just try and keep the bike forward so the pedals don't make contact with the roof.

It'll do the trick no problem! I've had mine on an xterra to a evo lancer to a Porsche. They all work great.

I suspect so; the seal is really good. I took two bikes cross country on a Mazda3 without issue. The only concern would be if the texture of the roof prevented a good seal (crosshatching in the carbon fiber, etc.). Good luck.

I do not have a carbon fiber bike. However, I have seen other riders with CF bike use this rack.

The countryman rack from MINI works with or without a sunroof. It sits four inches above the roof and has plenty of clearence for the glass roof. It comes with two locks per rail and two keys. It is very eaay to install and MINI offers many attachments. Especially if you are a biker, we offer a two bike carrier for the rear of the Countryman only. Please contact us for any questions or concerns.

to tell you the truth i have mounted my bike once and was scared all the way. more over it was tought to lift my bike up all the way to the roof and make sure i do not scratch my SUV. if u have a car may be it would be easy. go for rear ones rather than roof top

MB GLK220 (European )is the same as the MB GLK 250BT (USA/Canada)in respect to roof rack

It would but it's not going to be a tight fit there's a bottom clip that the rack doesn't support its best to get the ibera bike rack if your going to get the bag the quick clip system makes the commute real easy in the city.

I used mine on my Toyota Sienna which had the rack and two cross bars. We spaced the cross bars just enough so the carrier would fit just inside and laid it directly onto the roof surface. The clips attached to all four sides of the rails/racks. Unfortunately, we returned it as it didn't even make it the whole trip. We used ours in the summer and the zipper tabs completely broke even though we had them locked together.

It will depend upon the carrier. If the carrier can be mounted without using side rails as attachment points, then you would be okay. There are no side rail (front -to-back) attachment points because these rails blend into the roof over their whole length and they have no perforations.

Yes no problem. Just be sure and install two tie downs pulling the bike forward into the chock.

Yes , the carrier fits well into my receiver hitch. My cycle is a Honda 110 cc trail bike from the 70's & very light. I think your bikes would be to large for the vehicle carrying same. My vehicle is a 2500 series Chevrolet Truck , not a car.

it is possible by design. you could ad on and on, know what I mean? You would have to ensure there is enough cross bar support. I have only two cross bars for one extension which is sufficient. Depends on the cargo weight and the vehicle's allowable roof load.

I don't think so. It's more for a trunk lid of a car, than a rear opening van hatch. I think the angle of the bikes would be at the wrong angle. You'd have to ask the manufacturer directly.

Get a roof rack installed. I used it on my Honda Civic (no roof rack) from Chicago to San Francisco and we were worried the entire time. There was a little ease of mind when we really strapped it down with some bungee cords. The clips that are used with this carrier would detach frequently and damaged the interior lining where they were clipped. So. Get a roof rack installed and get a real carrier. Sorry.

This bag is wonderful and made for the rear carrier although it can be roof mounted. In general, you can count on a reduction of 2-4 mpg with such a large item on your roof. This isn't very streamlined like a hard top carrier.

No, look up the hitch specs of your car. I'm sure the bike will be too heavy. You also need a class 3 hitch.

Yes. The carrier comes with straps. There is a loop at the end of the strap so you can put it around a bar on your roof rack and thread the opposite end through it to secure it to your existing rack.
