The BMW 3 Series sedan uses roof mounting via fixed points. Choose your car generation and proceed to the roof racks assemblies designed for your production year.
The 3 Series sedan has gone through several generations, and each of them requires a differently shaped mounting kit. The older generation E46 covers production years 1998 to 2005. Its successor E90 covers the period from 2005 to 2011. Following that came the F30 generation produced from 2011 to 2019. The newer model carries the designation G20 and its production started in 2018.
When choosing, follow the production year listed in your vehicle registration document, as the date of first registration may be delayed.
This sedan uses factory-prepared fixed points directly in the roof. The roof racks feet fit into precisely designated places, so you do not need to measure mounting points along the doors. Before purchase, we recommend checking the exact package contents directly in the description of the specific product, as individual sets may differ in design and accessories.
A classic sedan has a smaller trunk space than a station wagon, which is why roof racks come in handy on every longer trip. You can easily attach a cargo roof box or bicycle holders to them. The lower body height makes handling heavier items easier, so you can load bicycles without straining or stepping on the door sills. When driving with a full load, expect slightly changed aerodynamics and sensitivity to crosswinds.
These roof racks are designed for the four-door sedan. Owners of the station wagon version will find suitable solutions in the separate BMW 3 Series Touring category. We also offer assemblies for other models of the Bavarian brand, for example the compact BMW 1 Series, the spacious BMW 5 Series or the SUV BMW X3.
