yes they do fit

For the record, all the R1100 -R1150 including R850 panniers interfit, regardless of model ie GR, R, RT
Except possibly the Adventure model, or a GS with Aluminium panniers.

Exclamation
Are you sure about that? My ex gf had an R1100RS and the exhaust is low, i.e. under the panniers. I believe the R has a high exhaust requiring a cavity in the left pannier. I also seem to remember that the RT has a low exhaust.

gezzam, I think you should check with a BMW dealer to make sure.

For the record they don't all fit - RT panniers have a different lower mounting lug positioned in a different place. GS and "R" all fit each other.
