Help ID’ing BMW Roof Rack Crossbars

[Gitarzan2]

Hi, I’m seeking help identifying a pair of BMW Roof Rack Crossbars that I found in my late Uncle’s Storage locker. They have BMW logos on the ends and on the inside of the ends they are marked E53. There is no BMW traditional part number sticker which I believe usually starts with “827”. They may be a Thule product but I’m not sure. The Tool used to tighten them is identical to Audi/VW Crossbar tools with the exception of the BNW logo.

I’ve done extensive image searches and have not been able to find these particular Crossbars.

I’m especially interested in determing the exact part number so I can possibly replace the missing rubber end caps (I know it’s a long shot) and then get these to someone who can use them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I’ve included photos. (Sorry about the photos! I’m having trouble resizing them!)

Thanks, Gary

Looks like the ski rack (6 skis) without the ski cubbies....

Thanks but I need the part number for E53 racks. Not E39 or E46.

Those are the part numbers for the e53, the others show as NOT SUITABLE for e39, e46....

82729404370 is the part number for the ski racks. I need the part number for the Crossbars.

Okay, I found a part number (82710144379) that is listed as a 2000-2010 X5 E53 Roof rack. The problem is that it looks nothing like the rack I’ve shown in my photos. I need the exact part number for the racks shown in my photos. Hopefully someone out there will remember the racks I’ve shown.

Thanks, Gary

Found it! The part number for the rack is 82710005998. Now I’m interested in finding the
82719402947 and 82710137509 End Plugs ( Beauty caps). Maybe someone has some laying around?

you may want to try

https://parts.bmwofsouthatlanta.com/...em-82710404320

the only number I can find on mine is B92512

they may have the part numbers for the end caps (I assume that is what you need)

Thanks Rich! I’ll give that a try.
