Has anyone mounted Thule or Yakima Racks?

Anyone found a solution beyond the BMW rack? Thinking of selling my truck and need to haul my bike around.

Garage List
As far as I know you need to buy the base support system from BMW then you can add whatever carriers you like thereafter (as long as you buy the correct fitting kits

If you want a roof rack, use BMW brand and use anti-seize for all the threads. Lots of issues of the bolts/screws seizing up by leaving the rack on too long.

It's too risky carrying your bikes on the roof. If you have a garage and forgot the bikes were up there, you'll have yourself a very expensive accident. Use Saris Bones trunk mounted solution. Saris works great and it will not scratch your paint.

I have had bikes on top for 25 years, no issues on 20+ cars. Looks like I am stuck with the ugly BMW racks.
