what are the numbers stamped on Thule fit kit for 318ti
 

I know the 225 is the number on the box that the fit kit comes in, but when you take the clips out of the box, they have a different number stamped on the metal.
Anyone know what these numbers are ?
seems a lot of people sell thule clips but don't know which car they fit on because the clips are donated or were found unattached to car.
thanks,

JP,
I got your PM. I haven't had a chance to check since they are in my storage in town. I remember seeing 2 clips that seem to wrap around the roof edge (similar to Yakima), and the other 2 have a hole that clips on to the torx "Frankenstein" bolts that are in the rain gutter.

Thanks Shellback,
please pm or post when you get access to clips.
I have acquired 1 pair of front clips for torx bolts
I have also acquired 3 pair of rear clips.
I'm pretty certain two of the three will work but would like to know which one Thule uses.
thanks,
JP

Looking for 225 fit kit also
 

hi, I am also looking for the Thule 225 fit kit also.
I know it is discontinued by Thule, I have been looking online and haven't found anything yet.

I believe the Thule fit kit for an e36 coupe will fit the 318ti. The rear clip for a coupe is not as close to the roof line as is the clip for the ti. I drove with this arangement and it seemed to work fine for me. I currently have a pair of suitable clip stamped with 100 for the rear rack but another pair stamped 18 worked also. 126 is stamped on the front pair that hook onto the torx bolts under the black rubber trim.
