Hi all,i have a June 06 E61 with roof rails,please can anyone tell me what roof bars are compatible as i am looking to buy a used set,if i look at thule website the footpacks seem quite generic for cars with roofrails.i wondered if this is the case with genuine bars.

I use Atera roof bars which are similar to Thule but a little cheaper. A useful site to see which types / makes will fit is: http://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehsel1.php.

There was a recent thread which may also help: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=75414
