Updated OEM Roof Rack?
I was just looking around online and found a PDF install guide to the R56 roof rack system. I have a 2010 MCS with OEM rack system. I noticed that the bracket system looked a bit different in the PDF I found. Can anyone confirm a different mounting system? Is the bracket system easier to attach?
Thanks in advance!

This is the one I just found online.

I can't seem to find the one that I have but it has two clamp pieces that expand and hook as you tighten the grooved brass nut. You have to use a special included tool to keep the clamps in place while you tighten the nut.
ah, this post has a link to the install of the system I have.

It looks completely different to me. The PDF looks to be a completely new mounting system. It uses an allen head torque wrench to turn in what looks like a single hook bracket rather than the socket torque wrench that I have to tighten the brass nut to compress the two bracket halves. I like the simple look of the PDF guide.
