Been wanting a set of OEM roof racks but have a hard time tracking one down. Anyone have a set laying around, or any leads.

I understand the desire to get an OEM set...for OEM reasons and it's very, very likely that someone has a set collecting dust in their garage.

That being said, Thule makes the OEM racks for VAG for VWs, Audi, Porsche, among others. I wouldn't be surprised if they made them for MB and BMW as well. Also, current Thule and Yakima racks will fit in the OEM threaded bosses on our roofs (provided you buy the right kit) and will have an OEM look. Further, you can get very modern setups with ultra-thin crossbars that are more aero and make less noise (and look better). You can also get replacement keys and keys that match your Thule/Yakima roof boxes, bike racks, etc...to have a one-key system.

The ultra thin, low-profile ones will look like this:

Yakima acquired Whispbar a few years ago. Both Yakima and Thule have similar low-profile systems now. I had Whipbars on another vehicle (SUV) and loved them so much I never removed them mainly because they were so quiet.

Thanks for the replies. Did not know which actually models were offered by Thule and Yakima but thanks for that link. Let me do some digging and see if I can find some that fit the w211
