Does Rhino Rack HD Roof Rack Fit 2011 BMW X3 with Naked Roof and Sunroof

Question:

Hi, I have no roof rails on my 2011 x3 28i. A few questions: I have a sunroof. Any problem there? Also, is there any issue in case we need to sell the car, and remove the rails before selling? i.e., will it be noticeable on the roof paint where the rails attach that we installed roof rails? Any advice regarding my particular year and model of the x3 with roof rails is appreciated. Thanks!

The Rhino Rack HD part numbers # RB1250B-2, # RRRLKHD, and # DK295 is a confirmed fit for your 2011 BMW X3 with a naked roof and would not interfere with the sunroof. You aren't going to want to open the sunroof with this rack installed though as it will make quite a bit of noise.

If you keep the roof clean as well as the mounting pads of the feet there would not be any long term damage done to the vehicle.
