[user not found], how bad is the OEM R56 roof rack install? I was looking at my roof today and I think that's probably the best/safest way to go. Oddly enough also cheaper than getting feet/fit kit for a Thule setup.
Plus, looks like the OEM setup is rated for 160ish pounds so I could find a way to toss some tires up there for track days in the future.
You'll cut out the four spots on the gutter where the rack slips in and then tighten down the nuts on all 4 corners.
I think I'm leaning towards the OEM after looking closely at the gutters. Not sure how I feel about clamping down on that.-
