It doesn't get any easiear than this...

Rating:*****
I got 3 bike carriers on top of my 330xi (2 side arms and one big mouth). The side arms are the best bike carrier out there. Just lift the bike up and you're set to go. Very sturdy construction, at times I go 120km/hr forgetting that I have 3 bikes on the roof. Less than 5 min to install it on the rack, 2 min. to take it down, how easy is this?

I have the Sportworks original hitch mount version of this rack and it is awesome, Thule bought the design for the hitch and roof bike racks. I purchased the sidearm 3 months ago and it has been nothing but a pleasure to use. I plan to by another one today.

The Best Yet

Rating:*****
The Side Arm is the best rack that I've used. It's stable on the car, my bike doesn't move at all as I drive and putting the bike on the rack / taking it off can't get any easier.

Negative Reviews:

not theft proof

Rating:**
if you have a nice bike and want a theft proof rack dont buy it. the lock only locks the front wheel- which can be easily unscrewed and the frame stollen and the front wheel left.
