Hi all
I'm tring to find some roof bars to fit onto my e30 so i can put a cycle rack on the roof
i have found that "THULE" make a kit "THE 591" which fits the 1502, 2002, and 3 series touring up to 1994 (which i beleave is the E30) but they dont list them for the 2 or 4 door saloon cars
1) Has anyone tried fitting roof bars to their E30 if so which make ect did you buy?
2) Does anyone know if the rail gutters on the E30 saloon are the same as the touring?
3) has anyone tried to fit the "THULE 591" kit to their E30 if so does it fit or not?

Hopefully someone can help

many thanks
andy

Gutters are the same on the saloon as the touring, what exactly is the problem?

the thule 591 are the correct mounts m8. I have a set of them. The bars I have are 120cm in length if that helps too.
