Just wondering if someone that has the rack can tell us if there are any weight or tire width limitations. From the picture, it looks like just about any moutain bike wold work on this rack. Thx.

As per manual, the rack can hold up to 15 kg (~ 33 lb) per cycle rail, of which the rack has 2. There is nothing in the manual about tire size limitations.

Thanks for the info! I have a 'moderately' heavy 36 lb all-mountain bike with 2.55 tires, so it sounds like I am borderline as far as the rack goes.. Now I just have to find one locally for something closer to what some of you have managed rather than the $499 retail price on the BMW site.

You're welcome. Please do post the price you end up getting it for.
