For anyone interested there has been a BMW X5 bike rack on Ebay for the last few weeks for £50

I have lost one of the bungs that connects the bike rack to the roof rail.

It was worse in the rain and when the tailgate had been opened. viewtopic.php?f=8&t ...

The dealer could get a key for £5.38 + VAT, 3 week delivery.

I got a Thule key from Replacement Keys, £3.95 + £1.75 P&P, delivered next day.

It fits!!!
