Crossbars for the 3-door BMW 1 Series generation E81 from 2007 to 2012. All systems in our offer mount directly to the fixpoints prepared in your car's roof.
The 3-door E81 hatchback uses fixpoints recessed in the roof channels. Each compatible foot fits precisely into the prepared thread, so the position of the crossbars on the roof is firmly fixed by the manufacturer.
Before the first installation, we recommend cleaning the area around these anchoring points from dust and debris. A clean surface protects the paint from unwanted abrasion when tightening the rack.
The luggage compartment of the 3-door model has its natural limits, especially when heading on a skiing trip or a summer getaway with bikes. A quality roof rack creates the base to which you can attach a roof box, ski holders, or bike racks.
If you are planning to load a roof box, check the maximum permitted roof load directly in your vehicle manual. This limit includes not only the transported cargo, but also the box itself and the weight of the crossbars.
When choosing the set, you will encounter both aluminum and steel profiles. Aluminum bars feature a T-track in the crossbar, into which you can easily slide quick-release adapters of sports carriers. Steel bars usually have a classic rectangular cross-section, to which accessories are attached using U-bolts.
The contents of individual packages vary by manufacturer, so please verify the composition of the selected set directly in the product detail before purchasing.
If you drive a newer model, check out the selection for F20 and F40 generations, or visit the main category 1 Series. Choose the right crossbars and hit the road with all the gear you need.
