Struggling to find the correct set of Thule roof pads.
Thule website suggests the rails are integrated which they are not, so can’t identify which ones I need. Same with Roofracks.co.uk
Any assistance appreciated.

3 series or 5 series? Your post doesn't say, neither does your garage.
If it's a 5 series, everyone swears they're integrated, but someone recently popped up with an ex-Police worse-than-base-spec special that didn't have roof rails. It turns out they didn't have the roof rail code ticked from the factory, and had blanking strips instead of the roof rails.

Do you mean what kit for the roof bars?
Fitting kit 4023.

That’s the problem. The 4023 kit appears to suggest integrated roof fixings rather than raised rails.

No problem I’ve ordered a set on line, but I need another 4 so perhaps if they definitely fit I could buy them off you?

OK just done a stock take

I have is the 4023 clamp.
When I changed cars the bars and foot were compatible with my Volvo

If you just want them alone and not the foot pad as well Id be happy to chat however if you need the full house you may be better off buying the job lot online

This is what I have:

https://www.thule.com/en-gb/roof-rack/fit-kits/kit...

ie just the clamp, not the plastic shroud with the lock on it

Cheers
