Hi Everybody, This is my first time posting on this Forum but hopefully you will still be able to help me with my question. I used to have a 2011 3 series saloon for which I bought a roof bar kit and fixings from Halfords. I now have a 2014 5 Series saloon. The roof bars are a perfect size and so is the rest except for the bolts. I think the bolts are M6 75mm in length but they are slightly too thin when I try and attach them to the 5 series. I've tried M8 bolts and they are too large. Can somebody confirm hat the roof attachment bolts require a M7 bolt please? I've ordered some from EBay but would love somebody to confirm that they are in fact the correct width. Going on holiday in 2 weeks and if I can't get the existing roof bar to fit the car we will have to take my wife's Grand Scenic which wouldn't put me in a happy mood :)

Many Thanks

Damian
