I assume you have tried to contact the seller as per this thread

I have Thule 757 foot-pack & 762 (135cm) bars as per this ebay listing 220836473100

Not most aerodynamic, sleek or quiet when car moving along....... but the bars are robust, footpacks have locks & can't be cut, (as with the rubber strap mounting items), & being black they match my car.

If buying used lockable equipment try to ensure all locks work & at least 1 key present & that operates all locks

Appreciate you didn't ask for buying advice but this may give some idea if also trawling ebay for E53 compatible equipment.

Do you want a roof rack or roof bars or both? Most people want roof bars - there are a number of options available, from BMWs own (expensive) option to Thule and others as per AW8s info - have you had a look on ebay? There is a Thule roof rack available but I think you are probably looking for the two bars to fit across your roof rails and not a roof rack as such???
