Remove Roof Rails

[sirees01]

Hi all,

I have finally got back into the X6 market and have purchased a new X6 35d which was sitting in the showroom last week. I managed to bag a MASSIVE discount on the car, however it has black roof rails.
I do not like Roof Rails on the X6 as I feel it spoils the lines of the car.
Are the rails easy to remove, or do I have to take the headlining out to gain access as my dealer suggests?

Many thanks.

Roof rails clip on from the outside. Never hear of having to remove the headliner.

anyone have a BMW spec sheet for roof rails so I can give to my dealer to teach them how to remove?

Double checked with dealer yesterday prior to collecting X6 late yesterday evening. Definately cannot remove roof rails without taking out headlining
Great car though, drives very well

The 12% discount is due to the economic crisis?! Good to know.

I heard there's a dealer in the UK that offers two cars for the price of one. :P
