L.T.G Posted September 13, 2010 Share A mate of mine has a 3 series coupe (current model) and the car has a removable towbar, but in order for it to work, the bumper has to be cut , or so he's been told. I'm trying to get this sorted as I'm carrying our bikes all the time, and he can't transport bike unless I'm riding too.Do any of you guys have a similar car, with a removable towbar fitted, without a cut up bumper?or what other bike racks are you guys using that work.ideally he's wanting to use a Thule express to transport bike around not any boot carriers.(i know Roof is an option, but he's trying to avoid that route) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted September 14, 2010 Share It is removable - it just requires the lower edge of the bumper cut to accomodate bal and goose neck. maybe they can fit some kind of removable bit of bumper there so teh hole isnt visible when teh rack is off. Alternatively - tell him a coupe looks cool with a tow bar always on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
