About Roof Racks

The BMWroof rack is one of the most useful of motoring accessories, providing the facility to carry extra loads safely and easily.

When the BMWroof rack first came into use they were attached to the body of the car by mounting them directly to the rain gutter that ran around the line of the roof. Since the construction of cars with rain gutters was abandoned, the BMWroof rack would be connected to the car by connecting hooks to the top of the door frames.

Many modern vehicles now have permanent fittings on the roof which are designed to offer an anchor to a BMWroof rack, whilst other vehicles have a permanent factory installed BMWroof rack.

The BMWroof rack can assist with the transportation of a variety of items and is particularly useful if the car is carrying a large family or group. Items such as suitcases, bikes, canoes, kayaks, skis, and water skis are frequently seen on roof racks, as are a variety of other boxes and containers. A variant of the simple BMWroof rack is the roof box. This provides additional storage but is covered, providing protection for its contents from the external elements.

Whatever the type, a BMWroof rack is an excellent way of transporting a whole range of items on the roof of the car.

BMW trivia

• It might not be the accessory that everyone needs, but for BMW drivers in South Africa who were worried about carjackers, the 'Blaster' was a flamethrower that shot huge flames from either side of the car. Not currently available in the UK…
• Did you know that BMW built a Lamborghini? The two popular companies decided to make a race car together, but Lamborghini pulled out during the manufacturing process. BMW carried on, and the final result was the original BMW M1 supercar.
• The BMW company was founded way back in 1916 and originally manufactured engines for planes. High demand for plane engines during WWI was good news for BMW, but they carried on making plane engines right up until 1945.
• That distinctive BMW car engine sound that new owners fall in love with might not be real. The BMW M5 has such a quiet engine that they had to install fake engine noises to keep drivers happy!
• The BMW M1 has a classic look, so it's no surprise that its designer also came up with some other amazing car designs. Giorgetto Giugiaro is also responsible for the DeLorean, the Beretta U22 Neos handgun, and the Nikon D4 camera! Although, he also designed the Yugo, commonly called the worst car that's ever been made.
