Hey all,

Had a new addition to the family and will now no longer be able to fit skis via pass through rear seats, so going to need to install a ski rack on my F30, as well as get the map updated.

Def want to avoid going to the dealership for either.

Anyone recommend a shop (pref in Manhattan or near downtown Manhattan) that can handle both hassle free (IE they'll handle ordering parts, installation, update, etc. I just have to drop car off/pick up)?

Would do both myself but free time is non-existent and don't have any space to work out of outside side of the street.

Thule attaches to the f30 with 4 screws. The whole process of setting it up would take you 30min. I use to take my rack on and off my f30 all the time in minutes. Even my g01 i take it on and off in under 5 minutes

Thanks for replies! Sounds like it should be a fairly painless install... I'll check out that listing and see if maybe I can self-help the rack.

I found the OEM route to be cheaper and the install to be reatively straight forward. Just bring a few towels to avoid scratching the car if you dont have a helper.

Simplest vid on installing the racks. Super easy. Just be sure before you swing them over the roof that the tabs are popped up and make sure to watch the opposite end so you don't land on the roof by accident.
