Hello!
I have a E61 but it does not have roof rails..
Is it possible to install it?
I can't find any roof bars that i can use in my E61. So i am asking if is it possible to install the roof rails.
Regards

Did you ever find an answer to your question? My Wagon does not have rails either. I love the sleek look, but unfortunately I think I need a roof rack. Based on my cursory research you essentially have to have someone drill holes in your roof and permanently install the rack.

The holes are pre-drilled. If the rails are not present the trim that covers it uses the holes needed for the rails.
TLO03 has included a link for the parts page where you can see what parts are needed to install the rails.
