Yes, the rails are interchangeable. I want to go the other way, and put the older style rails on my '11! They are sooo much more useful, since you are stuck with using BMWs ridiculously priced cross bars.

It is a fair amount of work to change them, but at least going from older to newer you don't have to paint anything.

if you do not need bars - it is better to replace them with simple moldings, which cover bars fix points
you can get them from car breakers

Have already ordered them, but want to be certain that it will fit, and i think it would look a little naked without rails.

So if anyone have dun this please wright or send a picture.
