e46 to e92 roof rack?

E92TiAg335i · 10-15-2015, 12:37 AM

Hey guys.

I had an e46 m3, which i put a Thule Roof Rack on for my kayak...

I know own an e92 335i, but i still have the rack. My question is... will my e46 roof rack fit on my e92?

Thanks!

If you have it, why don't you try and mount it?

I doubt it will fit....

I got a new OEM rack off eBay for $160 shipped.

you have to grind the feet of the rack down to make sure the bars are level. you'll have to remove material from the rear foot of the front feet and the front feet of the rear bar. you will also need to trim the width of the feet so it will fit in the window of the rain rail. just adjust the width and mount it up. i made sure to dip it in plastidip to cover the metal.

That sounds terrible

a grinder and ten minutes of your time.

I just measure the window width of the rain rail and translated that to the feet of the rack. you only need to take like 1/8 of material off.

Ohh that's not bad at all. I bought a used BMW rack on eBay instead.
