Any recommendations on roof bar for the F15?  I have noticed that most non oem bars have a 75kg limit where the BMW ones are 100kg.

Remember to check what the roof can take too.  It might be less than 100kgs - and that includes the weight of the bars.

For info roof limit 100kg, BMW cross bars £155, and a bit easier to install than the old X5 as no tools required.

Have you checked the Thule website?  Likely to be cheaper than OEM and BMW only badge them as their own.

I bought a couple of years back from roofracks dot co dot uk

I have the same BMW roofbars that I bought for my E70 post facelift  happily fitting my f15, so if you can pick up a set of those cheaply they will fit.
