Snowboard Rack?

jihong · 12-04-2016, 10:28 AM

Did a quick search, there's a thread for roof racks but it's mostly regarding bicycle racks. Anyone have a snowboard/ski setup? How much did you guys pay and please post pics! Seems like getting a yakima setup is $500+ and thule isn't much cheaper....

Typically you get a set of bars, then use accessory clamp-ons for specific uses. That way one set of bars can be used with anything from snowboards to kayaks. You drive a BMW, a $500 rack shouldn't be a deal breaker.

Thule rack that use to fit an e46. Grinded it down to fit the f30 platform. $150. Ski tray for 150.

Cheapest way would be to find a used OEM rack system off eBay. You can find one for about $150 if you keep looking. Then you need the actual snowboard carrier/attachment, which ranges from $120-$250 depending on what you want. If you're on a budget, I'd recommend "SPORTRACK's Groomer Ski & Snowboard Rack." I've seen it in person and was impressed for its price ($120). Looks nicer than Thule's carrier too IMO. Personally, I went with Thule's AeroBlade system in black with their snowboard attachment. Wasn't cheap (nearly $800), but I've seen it on F30's and it looks awesome. Also, I don't want my snowboard flying off and hitting someone's windshield

I just got myself an OEM BMW cross bar then added Thule ski rack that I found used.

I have the OEM crossbars (~$220), Inno wind fairing (~$70), and Thule ski rack (~$120). So around $400 total. I'll snap a pic and post it up when I get the chance.

If it's wide enough for two it should take four with paired boards placed back to back.

Thanks for all the help! I'm ready to hit the slopes now!

M-sport with Thule black aeroblade system and Thule snowboard attachment. Couldn't be more happier with the way it looks.
