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

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.

Yeah let us know about the camera, very interested in that. Happy hunting!

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.
