I believe all the US models come with Roof Rails... To remove them you will need to drop the headliner to access the assembly hardware and you will need a new trim piece to go on the roof where the rails currently sit which would be from a country that had a no roof rail option. Not to sure how hard it is to source for the X1 but we did this on a 535xi wagon e61.

you own the white x1 lowered right wow its so nice. besides the rims and lowering the suv have u done an mods for power, iam getting ready to buy all paper work is filled out but holding because i want to make sure this x1 35i m sport can at least go to 100 in 12 sec and the 1/4 mile in13.2 or faster can it be done were iam not killing the motor and not spending crazy money like over 5000 is to much for me on add ons on a motor that is under warranty. thanks rob
every thing on net is of a stock x1 35i at track or chip mod but on dyno no real numbers moded on track yet |

Dude don't take it off, as you can see it is alot of hassle doing that alone which could compromise the rigidity of the vehicle as well as your safety.

Just remember the X1 is new in the US so majority of the shops is not familiar with the car unless you pay your dealer for the labor.

Ok this is a real old post, just wondering if you ever did get the rails removed? I would really like to do the same.

Uh, EVERY X1 comes with the holes for roof rails either way. the rail trim is replaced and the holes are filled with correct bolts with rubber grommets built on them.
I have all the parts if you want to buy them. I bought a different toy car to work on and dont have time for this conversion. Parts cost me $250.00 You can find what parts from realoem and then order from ECS or someone. Then you can download the ETKA or whatever guide to show how to remove and install. |
