Google Street View Challenge

i've searched a couple times with no luck.. hard to find any cars with bikes on 'em.

i thought i'd be smart and search next to mountain bike trail heads, but that didnt work.

i started looking at parking lots of bike shops...but thats super tedious

[Jdesign]

HEH. I made a good one. In all honesty, I didn't even look for this one myself. So who knows if it even exists? LOL

The closest I've gotten so far is an E91 with a roof rack parked outside a bike shop. I'm assuming, at some point right before the picture was taken, that there was a bike on there. I'm seeing a lot of bike racks, but no bikes. I realized my problem is I've been searching in places where people would bring their bikes. When they get there, they take them off and go somewhere. Time for a new strategy

Yeah I was trying to do the same thing @m42b32 I even tried looking on the roads surrounding those areas because I figured there would be someone to or from with bike installed. I found about 5 cars, but none BMWs.

[Jdesign]

Man. I thought for sure I was going to find something, But still no such luck. I did find this though....

[Jdesign]

Spent a good hour or so looking again. Checked around every bike shop in Wisconsin and Chicago. Then decided to head to Norway and the odds increased by tenfold, but still no bikes mounted on the actually roof.

It's entertaining you guys have finally gotten stumped in this game

[m42b32]

You'd think it wouldn't be that hard... but holy crap it is. I spent more time looking over the last day or two, no dice. Whoever finds one should win the whole thread lol

Come on, I need something to do my Monday morning!

OK, find a BMW that has significant crash damage

rules:

1. must be on a street or in a driveway (cannot use your own car or another forum members)

2. 'significant crash' is defined as what most people call a fender bender at a minimum

Hmmmm.. all that anticipation and that seemed pretty easy. 2 for 1 even. Unless you CAN NOT count cars AT body shops...( you didnt mention anything about that)

E90 and an X5
