    Would anyone happen to have a set of the fitting instructions for the f15 bmw roof bars, in pdf or as photos they could post or message as I have mislaid them.
    The most important bit is the positioning of the bars on the car, distances from front windscreen and spacing between bars, the rest I can hopefully work out. Thanks

    Thanks, I’ll try those dimensions and see how it looks, as fitted them once before so hopefully it will look similar, if not then I try calling bmw and see if they can confirm fitting dimensions, I’d hate the roof box and bars to come adrift on upcoming holiday.

    thanks, I don't think the f15 roof rails are marked, the later models are, but I'll definitely mine recheck tomorrow.

    Have you tried asking cotswold or another dealer if they can source them? Retrofit instructions can just be printed off by them but I’m not sure if it’s the same for an accessory like roof bars or if they just have an included book. They might be able to order the book if so.

    Spoke to nearby dealer and he has kindly emailed me what I needed if anyone else needs the dimensions it’s 460mm from front screen and 700mm between bars.

    thanks for the info and replies
