I have a 2008 BMW 335xi it has the 4 fold up roof devices....is there anything else required to use the Base roof support ...

No, I would recommend buying the Thule base support over the bmw though. The Thule base locks on and looks much better as it sits about 2 inches lower than the bmw. Also easier to load and unload then.

It worked perfect on my 2008 328i. Gas mileage was greatly affected. However, we took all of our stuff and had room for vacation shopping.

You are all set. It comes with everything you need, even the tools required to install

all comments are correct. It is a tough little thing. So folding isn't part of that. The big boom comes off. Do a search for WeeHoo roof rack. There is a guy that recorded a video on how he made a roof rack work. I might do the same. mostly we have just rode it around our house. So I haven't worked on that yet.

You have to have something to secure it to. My Honda Odyssey had two roof rails and it was fine

I have a short roof too but have a 4 seater. With the seat on the back, you should buy the 4 seater. The roof will allow you to pull the cover down further around the back (assuming you also have a foot deckfor the retro fit seat on back, and especially so if you have the vertical bar at the edge of the back foot deck).

it's a set of two crossbars, four towers (with footpads attached) and four clamping feet.the feet engage the openings between the roofline and the car's doors.as you tighten the bolts on the foot/tower assembly the tower/crossbar assembly is pulled down and is clammped to the roof.hope that helps.

Car came with roof rack but without cross bars. My guess is that it's a dealer only item and you probably want thenm to install it also.

It has 4 legs for roof mounting. If you took the legs off you could probably mount to the ladder mount. A better solution would be to buy the carryout (GM-1518) with the ladder mount (GM3000). The carryout has the same internals as the mini-max. The carryout costs less than the mini-max.

probably. they won't tell you up front and you'll only know if you need them until you try to put it together. It's probably best to order the seat kit AND the roof supports at the same time. Then, if you don't need the roof supports, return them. Better than loosing 2 weeks waiting on the supports to arrive. Doc

I have a 328i but it is not an x drive. My cover fits like a glove. I don't think the chassis is different on the two cars are different but you may want to check with BMW on that.

This will not fit the coupe body style. The correct BMW part number is 82-71-0-397-227 for your 2009 BMW 328i Coupe. Searching Amazon I can't find a listing for the BMW Roof Rack but I'll have one available for you within the hour.Best Regards,United BMW Roswell

Best Regards. I think a good product, so far I have no complaints whatsoever, Las install a Model 2008 Rexton and cut me play a little guide, that did not fit, was easy with a hacksaw. I suggest taking this measurement compares the roof and if that cut is not difficult and you can do it yourself. Greetings from Colombia

how can i install these for 1999 bmw 328is it doesnt come with base brackets?
986615
Yes, I have one too. These work great and make you safe getting on and off the roof. Once we got these, we wondered how we ever worked without them!

Hello, thank you for your inquiry! Unfortunately, BMW only sells the base support system as a set of 2 bars. There is no way at this time to just order or sell one. Hopefully this helps...

No. There are contact points on all four sides that the roof poles rest on, so you have to have some kind of support every ten feet. Otherwise you have a full side or end unsupported, which makes it useless.

No. You'll need to purchase the cross bars being careful to position the front bar where it won't interfere with the moon roof operation. specifically the rear tilt position.

They attach directly to the roof. I have a 2013 ford CMAX. It does need an attachment for each particular car, as seen on their web page.
