I have a thule for the bimmer, bought it from a bike shop to accomodate 2 mountain bikes. paid around $350 including fairing.

you can do better then that on ebay.

looks that way the one that started the post only has about 16 posts so i would guess that there are two

I believe there are two....I recall seeing a Bobert in one of the threads I was reading the other day.....I am gonna look for either thule or yakima online...a few ppl that I have talked to said yakima is stronger because of the round bars verse the square ones...
