bike in 8 series

[drellis]

Hi really like the look of these, has anyone managed to get a mountain bike in the back on the ones where the rear seat folds?
cheers

Don't be daft.

The rear seat backs fold onto the seat squab as in a 911, standard on a CSi, optional on others I believe.

many thanks,
i like the 8 series so much i will stay get one, was just trying to justify it and get rid of the snotter. Yours looks great, think i will aim for a 850 is £5k possible?
cheers

Its a push getting my mountain or road bike (no wheels) into the back seat of my E39 5 series.

I'd be very surprised if you could get a 'normal' sized bike frame in there.

Still get one, though, obviously! Gorgeous cars

I had the worlds most expensive roof rack for mine. £450 bought me a genuine BMW embossed set of roof bars that used to carry my windsurfer.

cool, did not think you could get a roof rack

I too have a 'shed' for the bike - a wise move

Few cars offer more aesthetic style and all around 'specialness' for less coinage......

I can't rate the CSi highly enough 380bhp/550N/m an a manual box - then of course I would, wouldn't I.

Do not even think about a Bike in an 8
I've just sold a 850 ci & previously I've had several 840's, I can honestly say the V12 offers absolutely nothing that the V8 cars provide.
But I'm not including the Csi here, just my opinion having owned both;)
