Default A4 Bike Carrier

I have the OEM Audi roof rack and am looking for a bike carrier. Has anyone used this one from Audi?

Lifts any bike up to 44 pounds (20 kg) with
remarkable ease. The removable lever mechanism
can be stored when not in use. For bikes with a
wheelbase up to 42 (108 cm); not recommended for
bikes with wide seats or additional springs.
Package of 2 lifts.

Note: Must be used in conjunction with Base
Carrier Bars. Sold Separately

Default i would avoid oem audi racks and pick up some racks made by a rack manufacturer

such as thule or yakima. I chose to run some "european" thule bars and feet on my avant. for cycling i picked up some rockymounts nomad long trays. rockymounts is company based in boulder, colorado (where i did my undergrad) that makes full line of bike racks that are both thule and yakima compatible. the coolest thing is that their racks are available in colors (red, blue, silver, gold, yellow, green, orange, and black). they are all the rage with the cyclists in boulder.
another plus about using yakima and thule is that you can delve into their arsenal of rack attachments, that I am sure are pretty limited in the audi oem line.<ul><li><a href="http://www.rockymounts.com">rockymount's website</a></li></ul>

Looks like the Audi rack is already on the car. I say, keep it simple.
