Picture of a 2010 BMW 328i car rack with roof mount bike racks. The Thule 460 Podium roof rack is mounted to the 2010 BMW 328i fixed attachment points located on the car top using the Thule 3039 Podium Fit Kit brackets (included with the 460 Podium complete system).
Many vehicles available today feature attachment points on the roof top (called fix-points), allowing for the mounting of an aftermarket roof rack system to these fix-points. The customer installation photo shown above is an excellent example of this. This is a 2010 BMW 328i roof rack that is using the Thule 460 Podium car rack system mounted to the 2010 BMW 328i car rooftop fix-points. The Thule 3039 Podium Fit Kit brackets (included with the complete Thule Racks 460 Podium car rack system) mount directly to the fix-points. The result is a premium, sleek and integrated looking roof rack system.

Thule 460 Podium roof rack review by 'Tim'. He is using the 460 podium system as a 2010 BMW 328i roof rack that he then attaches a couple bike carriers to.
Overall Rating: 5 Stars (out of 5)
Configuration: 2010 BMW 328i roof rack for carrying bikes
“If you will simply take your time to read the Thule 460 Podium car rack instructions and follow them step by step, assembly and mounting is a snap – start to finish. They look great and are very sturdy. This is my second BMW and my second Thule roof rack and bike carrier system. It is well worth the cost and the best way to go if you want to haul your bikes around with total confidence!”
