Kayak roof holder that fits in BMW roof bars?

Any of you have a kayak holder that actually mates up with the BMW roof bars? I see lots of other options that fit Thule or Yakima racks, or that are universal and bolt around the bars. I'd prefer ones that use the tracks in the factory roof bars (these are the bars that attach to the factory rails).

Thanks in advance.

I use Rola roof rack RB series for my paddle boards. The Thule SUP Shuttle mounts right up to these and looks like the Thule Hullavator Kayak Rack would mount the same. Easy to remove when not in use.

I have Rolla bars for my x and a Saris hitch mount for my bikes. I have Ski racks as well as cargo box attached to the Rolla bars with no problems. I cringed when I saw the glass mounted Saris bike rack on your X.

Yeah, at first I wondered the same thing but after miles and miles of transport this way, the rack worked. A trailer hitch mount would be the way to go but I just don't like the look of an exposed hitch and too much money to mount a bike rack. I just don't transport the bikes enough to justify the cost.
