A bike in a 997? Easy!

Personally, I thought it would be easier. I tried it, but didn't do it. Very hard to get the frame in the car. And without the wheels, the dropouts just looking to rip a hole in the leather as you get it in make it a huge challenge. I just figured there was no way to regularly drive it to rides.
I got a rack, but didn't end up using it. When you just have it on the roof, it makes a fair amount of wind noise, especially with the sunroof open. By comparison, an M3 coupe with the folding rear seats is a light year ahead in versatility. Unfortunately, it is nowhere near a Porsche though!

I agree with the M3 being a much better car for transporting bikes. My buddy has one and it very convenient.
My bike is a medium 58cm frame and it's very easy to slide it in and out -- I do use a blanket to protect the leather. When I slide the frame in I go back of the bike first and point it at the driver window, once it's half in I turn 45 degrees left and aim for the rear window. Very smooth. Also, the passenger seat needs to be folded forward.

haha.. nice.. but definitely get a rack. That looks like too much work to get the bike in and out without getting the interior dirty. I kept my old e46 to haul my bikes around. Bikes get dirty... esp if you mountain bike.

And for Porsche content, the Housse that I mentioned above now holds the center muffler from my GTS that was replaced with a Sharkwerks X pipe.

Here is my solution:
