How costly would it be to retrofit roof rails & the rear-view camera?

I was going to ask if it's possible but I imagine anything is if you have the $$$; that being said, how much would each cost? TIA.

I have the same question about roof rails. Ordered a 2011 X5 35d in december and didn't want the rails...now I really want the rails. They were $100 to order ..but now the dealer said $547 just for the parts. Holy Crap.

The m rails are much better looking and still functional. If it's gonna cost an arm and a leg, might as well give up a few fingers and get something different.

That said, I haven't priced them yet. Summer is turning out to be too busy.

I am hoping the rear view camera is plug-and-play and pre-wired to work. I had been looking for that info a few days ago. Hopefully it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

The install of roof rails require the removal of the interior roof lining, so its gonna be very $$ if done at the dealer. There are after-mkt. rear-view camera systems out there for around $1k, and IIRC someone on this board successfully installed a set with DIY instructions as well.

Any ideas on how much the retrofit roof rails would cost?

Rails my guess will be 1000-1200.

The trim strips that cover the roof rail channels need to be replaced when you go from no rails to rails...they come primed. Need to be painted.

I am in the process of ordering and questioned salesman about ordering without the rails, thinking it might have a sleeker look. He told me that they had put a set on recently for someone and it was $1100.00 parts and labor.
