Hello to you all!

This is my first topic and post in this forum!

I?m from Portugal and i?ve just sold my previous car wich was an Audi S6 Avant ,pretty modded, and got myself an E61 535d with all the M package!

Apart from not being possible to lower it because of its rear suspension, there is another thing wich i really hate in the car!

(only two things, not bad!!)

And that is the roof rails!! <_<

I want to remove them! Does anybody have a clue how to do it?

I think the car looks too high with them...there?s just something wrong with those rails!! :thumbsdown:
Congrats on the car swap and WELCOME to the club

Well, here is ademitt's E61 without rails.

Thanks to all replies!

Tiago i live in Massama!

Well at my local dealer (Luacar) they said it would be easy to remove the rails, but that i would have to change the plastic profiles so i would not have any holes!

In the old models you woul only have to buy tha plastic caps to cover those holes!

They said it woul be a two hours work, but they wanted a fortune for the plastic profiles!!250 euros each plus paint job, plus work!!

So i?m trying to guive away the idea!!

I know you went to Revolutioncar today!

I was there leaving a car to make some mods!

And i?ll be there tomorrow because i want to talk to them about a certain RX7....Let?s see if they want to work! My brother said to me that he?d prefer to leave the car there!

You know my S6, i know! Once we even got the chance to talk to each other!

What car do you want to mod? For the RX7 (and i suppose that we are talking about the domain's RX7) a delimited 535d is enough for a top speed run, but it won't be a faster car below 250kph, even with a huge hp increase because our cars are too slow between gears compared with cars with manual gearboxes.
