I bought a pair of OEM crossbars for the roof rack on the wagon today. It came with the Allen tool and a key. I also bought an OEM bike rack the fits it too. I checked with the dealer and the crossbars are no longer available while the bike rack is. the guy will be selling his car very soon too. I believe it is a Silver 525 5speed, in the Chicago area. When he lists it, I'll post it in case anyone is interested.
Yep. The oem crossbars are Sweet. I got a steal on them from ECS a few years ago. Way glad I did.

I have the bike rack and the OEM basket, but need the rails :-(
is the car being sold a wagon or a sedan?
ahhhh...the good ol' days of working in the service department.....
I obtained the BMW cross bars and two BMW bike racks from a former customer of mine. Back when she traded her e39 on an e60 she offered the racks and cross bars to me when she found they didn't fit the new car. I didn't have a wagon at the time and had to decline. Fast forward....I leave BMW several years later, acquire the wagon a year after leaving, then decide to reach out to her another year later. She said she still had everything and I was welcome to have it if I liked. I drove up to the Cleveland area one day during a fine winter snow storm and picked them up. Factory cross bars, two factory bike racks, both key sets, all the tools, and all the owners books.....boo-ya !!! I have to say my customers always tipped me well

Is that Bike rack OEM? It's very cool.
yes, oem.
ebay purchase from a guy who took Euro delivery of a 3 series.
Just be careful when you loosen the mounting bolts that you don't over do it. If they become unthreaded it is a real PITA to get them back on. I made that mistake the last time I took mine off.
