Dealers have the bmw bars reduced to 135 on ebay. Fixing kits etc now available at Halfords for Thule - my other bars and racks are Thule so might stick with that

No Cruz bars currently available so decided to go with oem roof bars, the cheapest via eBay is £160 , part number 82712457808. They even come with their own rudimentary BMW torque wrench.

Will post photos once fitted but found this helpful BMW fitting video, which even has them being fitted to a 330e, have they borrowed yours Tricky6?

I also have a set from the same place Tricky used, I've had the set for 10 years and used between various 3er saloons/tourings and 5er saloons/tourings plus a Volvo XC90. Clearly with different "feet" for the tourings/Volvo.

Roofbox company are superb both on product selection and customer service when enquiring about adapting my cross bars to fit each car and generation.

So Tricky we have the same car and same colour and now we have roof bars on them too lol!!

Can you tell me what mounting kit did you use? Thule website says kit 186007 but some third party retailers have different mountings and they also seem to be compatible (?)

Do you have a perfect fit? No issues?

I have Thule 3174 for the square bars. Fits perfectly. Got them from Roofbox.co.uk.

Thanks, but I see that you have a G20 and I'm looking for a G21 with roof rails.

I am indeed using the 186007 adapter kit. It fits perfectly and it specifies on the box that it's compatible with BMW G21 (2019-).

These are all the parts I have:

1 x Thule (96) Edge flush mounted roof rail feet (4) no. 720600 (BMW 3 series Touring (2019 onwards))

2 x Thule (168) Edge 86cm black WingBar (1 only) no. 721320 (BMW 3 series Touring (2019 onwards))

1 x Thule flush rail adapter kit no. 6007 (BMW 3 series Touring (2019 onwards))

Hey guys I have a Thule Bar set up with ski racks attached. I am in US (MA) and willing to ship. DM if interested! Very good shape I barely used them (used for 2 ski trips, and now I never use them and have been off my car with all components including screws, keys, etc in a bag).

Planning on taking the family to the Alps and as the G21 is somewhat smaller, decided to dust off the roofbox and get myself organised.

And it so happened that these arrived this morning.....

I rarely have need for a roof-rack/bars and the old ones that I had for a previous car (can't recall if it was the e39 or e61 TBH) wouldn't fit. So the choice was get some feet for the bars or go for a new system that was cheaper.

So Roofbox.co.uk gave their recco, and I looked up a review on line and found this https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/produc...roof-bars-2020

Seems it will be good enough for the odd occasion that I need them. Can't complain too much at £75 + £10 for locks + £7 for delivery

I just went with the oem from Bowker BMW on their ebay site. £450 for bars and the 320 ltr box. I think that ain't such a bad deal, really.

I was pressured by timeframes and the fact they only had 2 boxes left, so :|

Any chance these are still available?

I know this is very old post but I am asking any Thule Wingbar Edge and Pano Roof G21s if there is any issue opening the roof with them mounted. Is there any obstruction or it can be safely open?

Thank you!

I have the same set up. No problems whatsoever with opening the roof tilt or slide. Just be prepared for extra wind noise when you do.

Kindest regards
Carl.
