It's funny you ask, I was going to post asking about the same thing. Curious if it's easy to delete them or if it will leave a hole where it was mounted.

I been told by BMW technicians that the headliner must be removed, which is a big PITA
I also hear the headliner can droop if not done perfectly! As far as filling the hole i know some sport activity x5's have been ordered w rail-delete so im assuming theres a part that can be ordered. Rob

Looks like they remove the whole headliner to get to anchor bolts to remove the roof rails then they add a delete rail.
They also have to pre-order the delete rail and paint it to match your color (it comes as flat black). |

I did change mine to OEM silver rails to match the step rails..I did the labor my self and all I can tell you is that is a Mother to remove them and install them..but totally worth it.
I did not go with the full delete option as sometimes I need to carry stuff, so I just attach the cross bars for those times that i need. Otherwise carrying anything else directly on the big sunroof was not safe for me.
