A Boxster could carry a few hundred of this bike

This BMW concept seems to be geared towards just that:

who's going to be the first to try this with a Macan? or at least measure what the maximum internal height is.

Anyone know if the back cargo space will hold a full set of golf clubs without folding the back seats down?

Like the lid in that photo...think it's the new uniform there.

wouldnt the trailer hitch mount bike rack be a decent alternative?

Buckfever

I'm not into biking but a friend is and these guys are talking about very expensive bikes.

s2ktaxi

now that the Macans are beginning to show in some owners' garages, can someone kindly see if a road bike (without front wheel) will fit upright with a rear seat folded?

Thanks!

I have a simple trailer hitch bike rack that has worked well for centuries (last century 1993-1999, and this century 2000-2014) (also 100 mile bike rides). It worked on a Landcruiser, a couple of Pickups, and now a BMW X5 (4.8is and X5M)
Its inexpensive and goes on quick and comes off quick and is easy to secure AND saves the interior of your SUV

A bike will be tight. Not a ton of height. I'm not even sure golf clubs will fit in the back with the rear seats up. It's a narrow car, so maybe diagonally they would fit.

A simple trailer hitch rack is indeed fine for some people, as are the strap-on racks. However, mounting your bike on the outside of the vehicle makes it vulnerable to:
1) theft
2) dust and dirt and rain
3) collision damage
4) unwanted attention
5) not so much on the hitch mounts, but roof racks have wind drag and noise and overhead clearance issues
6) inside the vehicle, a properly cradled bike doesn't incur the rubbing clamp damage that most racks have

You would think that some automaker would realize that the same people who enjoy expensive high-performance bikes also like high performance cars. Sadly, this is not the case. Cyclists who want to put their bikes inside have to make do with a crude Honda Element or a 5000+ pound gas-guzzling truck or a dreadful minivan with an interior by Fisher Price and vehicle handling designed by dinosaurs.
...sigh....

I think you speak from experience, present or past.

youre not gonna fit one in back upright at all... the roof is far too low

I was hoping that since it works in a Honda CRV it would work in the Macan as well.
