I got a reply from Morristown BMW and price for the rails seems fair, so
I decided to retrofit the aluminium roof rail on my X5. Does anyone know how to remove the current roof rails on E70 and the level of labor intensity to do this job???

Maybe you have to get under the headliner?

Here's a link to the e90 forum. I can't see it being much different.

Thanks Denalio. Those 2 links explain everything.
Awesomejun: Look forward to seeing the alu rails. Personally I think I'll leave the roof rails alone. I'm not too keen on removing the car's headliner. Last edited by steel; 03-12-2008 at 04:12 PM. Reason: Correction

Actually I have another alternative plan!!(maybe because I'm not confident enough about whether the alu rails gonna fit without any additional work..)
What if I wanted to leave the roof without the roof rail????(just remove the current rails) --> what parts do I need to get to fill the gaps?? Has anyone seen E70 without the roofrail??? I'm just wondering what it looks like. (P.S. I just found out on the E70 brochure that there is one 3.0si without roofrail.. and looks not that bad.)
