Looking for OEM ski/snowboard Rack for X5

Hoping to find the factory one, haven't checked any junk yards around the country yet, but dont have a lot of hope of finding one there. Anyone selling one? Or recomendations on aftermarket one that would look the closest to the oem witout being awful high (currently I don't have cross bars).

Thank you all!!

I don't have one, but there is I think one more option - the OE bike rack (for the tow hitch) should have an attachement for the skies, not just the roof rack option...

You need the OEM cross bars in order to use the OEM Ski/snowboard. I have a set of Ski/snow board rack with lock and key that will fit the OEM cross bars. How about $60.00 plus shipping?

Upallnight,

Is the ski/snowboard rack still available? I am not sure if this is the cross bar you mentioned...

i think there are two bars going on the standard rails, perpendicular to the travel direction

eBay special. Chinese made, likely low quality. Pass.

You can get BMW OE cross bars for our X on Amazon. I believe they are under 200. The ski rack I have will fit this rack
