As the title says - Is there any 3rd party panniers available that are compatible with the BMW pannier mounting system?

The BMW expandable sport bags on my '07 ST do not fit on my '13 GT. My BMW 28L top case fits on both bikes.
maybe the sport panniers of the F800R fit in the GT because the exhaust of the R and the GT are both more sloping than the ST exhaust. but I'm not sure... does anyone tried it?

This has been discussed some time ago in this same forum. I believe the R sport case fit on the GT. The ST sportcases do not fit, specifically the exhaust side, as you expected.

Regarding the original question: there are no 3rd party panniers which fit the BMW proprietary mounting system (most probably patented, so 'protected' by BMW). You need to fit an additional mounting system.
