Base Support System for E91 Low Profile Roof Rails?

ellipsis212 · 12-01-2016, 08:20 AM

After a ton of searching I'm struggling to find the correct OEM base support system for the 2011-12 Sports Wagon with the low profile roof rails.

This is the part number that keeps coming up: 82712149541

Other sites say this P/N is incorrect and just about all the pictures show the RAISED roof rails rather than the low profile ones.

Do any of you E91 folks have the answer? Thanks!

Based on Real OEM you need 82712149541, I don't believe there are low profile cross bars. The difference is in the feet and how the attach to the roof rails. To be 100% sure you need to check with your local stealer.

I'm sorry if this isn't particularly helpful, but I used a thule system on my 2011, I think it was the 460 footpack.
