New X5 M No Rails

XX5Monster · 01-19-2016, 11:04 AM

I just had the roof rails removed and I'm very pleased with the look as body lines seem to be smoother especially towards the back to spoiler

Looks good, I've been thinking about removing the roof rails and removing the door moldings for a cleaner look. Can you take some close up pics of the roof?

black1 · 01-19-2016, 11:53 AM

Nice!!! Looks much better without especially if you are not even using them for anything.

Looks great!
mine came without and I'm glad, not sure if that was an option in 2013.

XX5Monster · 01-19-2016, 12:06 PM

Yeah I never used them and as much as I loved it when I bought it something really bothered me about the roof and quickly realized that the roof rails were making it look more round and for it being a true sport SUV i thought it should have more of a sleek look so taking the rails off gave me the look I was looking for. I will try to post some close pics of the roof. It was supposed to be about a $1200 job between the replacement parts for the roof and the labor but the dealership gave the parts to me for free cause of some issues I had to deal with. The body shop at my dealership saved me money on labor so only ended up costing me about $400 dollars.

That's awesome! You have a parts list with part numbers you could post up?

saleen01 · 01-19-2016, 01:50 PM

XX5Monster · 01-19-2016, 03:17 PM

Here is the link that I did showing a DIY on how to install not remove but I think its going to show you at least the process of what needs to be removed. I only used as a reference for my shop cause I didn't want to do it or trust myself.

Ohh nice!!

Something looks different than the OEM 21s style 215...

xpl0sive · 02-04-2016, 04:06 PM

those are probably 22" replicas

XX5Monster · 02-08-2016, 01:44 PM

The color is Saphire black and the wheels are 21"s with a dark gun metal grey finish but are plasti dipped right now to protect the finish from all the salt on the roads. They came on the M when I bought it.

9vapors · 06-20-2018, 12:35 AM

Bumping this because I would like to delete my roof rails as well. Any others done it themselves? Please share pics!
