Any thoughts?

Thanks,

I got a Yakima system. The BMW system is an excellent system, but not compatible with any other vehicles, so I made the choice to get a system I could keep if and when we get rid of the X. If you buy a Thule or Yakima load bar system, the cargo boxes are pretty much universally compatible so it doesn't make much difference which brand of box you buy. In the case of BMW, however, all the components specifically fit the BMW load bar system only. They're nice, but when you sell the vehicle you wave goodbye to the roof system too. The aluminum BMW load bars are also easily damaged by the clamps of non-BMW boxes.
