Hi there,

I have a 2015 335xi and I may finally need a roof rack for one or two bikes. I'm aware of the obvious options such as the OEM BMW system, Thule, etc. However, any time I look at the installation videos it seems that getting just the bars on the car is a bit involved. I wouldn't want to leave the rack on the car during the week or when I'm not expecting to ride my bike away from home. So I was wondering which system could be set up to quickly put the rails on and off the car without dealing with a ziplock bag full of screws, rubber parts, spacers etc.

Part two of the question and since budget is a concern also: is the OEM BMW rail system (apparantly cheaper than Thule etc) compatible with the Thule attachments that hold a road bike down with fork mounts. Not interested in the ones with the crossbars that go on the frame. Also not looking for anything to go on the trunk or so.
