I have a 2013 F31 without roof rails and want to fit a roof rack.

I doesn't look like there are any fixing points either, like on the saloon.

I thought would be able to get one that just clamps around the door frames, but I cant seem to find one.

It looks like you need to have roof rails which cost £370 plus fitting...... (or 2nd hand from e-bay for around £200).

Does anyone know of a roof rack that will fit an F31 without roof rails ?

I found two makes that made suitable roof bars: Modula and LaPrealpina. They look very similar in design and are both made in Italy.

Both make cheaper square bars too.

I bought the LaPreaplina as they could be posted to Denmark.

They are not quite as good quality as Thule, the mechanism is simpler and it requires an allen key to fit. But they are cheaper and the Thule T track accessories fit.
