What are you hauling around?

[X3eme]

Took the X3 out this weekend using my newly installed hitch. Just wondering what you all haul around with your rides?

I have been noticing the small Class 1 hitches (1500 lb.) on most of the other small SUVs. Not only did they make the X3 handle like a sports car, they were also able to make it Class 3 (3500 lb.) worthy. Nice.

Three mountain bikes and a cargo (ski) box on the roof... you know, the typical mountain stuff.

Oh yeah, and golf clubs too, because I did a bit of this....

What am I hauling around?


My *ss?




Actually, I tow my Waverunner occasionally (not often enough). Nothing major.

Hey Calgary,
Did you get the BMW Ski & Luggage box?http://www.shophabberstad.com/x3-ski...ggage-box.html Is it big enough for a couple of snowboards and skis? I was thinking about getting it but the price is a bit steep. Morristown BMW offeres it for $1,105.95. I do like the possibility of transporting 4 people and all their ski and snowboard gear though. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Andy

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.

I haul a Chihuahuwa and whatever crap comes along from working and usual some stuff from shopping I love when people ask me If I "actually use my suv" I just smile and say "of coarse I do!"
