Crossbars for the fourth generation BMW 3 Series Touring estate F31 from production years 2012 to 2019. The selection covers vehicles with flush roof rails.
Looking at the car from the side, you will see metal profiles along the sides of the roof that sit directly on the bodywork. There is no free space between the rail and the roof sheet metal, and you cannot slide your hand underneath it. The carrier feet are attached directly by clamping onto this edge.
If you have an estate from the transition years of production, verify the exact model code in your vehicle registration document. The previous version E91 ended in 2012 and the successor G21 started in 2019, with each of these generations using a different mounting solution.
When choosing a set, it depends on what you plan to transport on the roof. Different crossbar shapes suit different types of accessories. If you plan to carry bike racks or ski racks with a T-adapter, focus on the presence of the upper T-track in the crossbar itself. For older roof boxes with classic U-bolts, check in advance whether their width can accommodate the wider profile of the selected bars.
Always check the exact composition of individual parts and mounting components in the detail of the selected product, as different manufacturers package kits and load bars differently.
The BMW 3 Series Touring has a sporty silhouette and with a loaded roof box, its driving characteristics will change slightly. Remember the increased total height when entering underground parking garages of shopping centers or passing through hotel ramps. Into the maximum permissible roof load stated in your vehicle's manual, you must include not only the cargo, but also the weight of the crossbars themselves and the empty box.
Browse available assemblies for your car and choose a solution that matches your plans. Other generations of estates and other body styles can be found in the categories 3 Series Touring and BMW.
