Bought a Thule Evolution 1600 on the cheap at the local Surplus store for traveling this year... Looks like my roof racks are going back on. Can anybody reccomend me some low-profile cross bars?

I have a set of Rola cross bar on my X. They are Aero bars and better looking than the factory bar. I use it with a Thule Frontier cargo box, Thule and Yakima bike carriers. They sit flush with the roof rack on the BMW, compare with the BMW factory rack which sits higher up.



Make sure you get the cross bars for an E53 and not the E70, since you are posting on the E53 forum I'm assuming you have an E53. The E70 cross bars will not fit an E53. They are both listed as for an X5.

You do know that the seller is in Hong Kong and the free shipping is by a slow boat from China.

Sorry for the delay, I used E6000. Good seal, very strong but doesn't get super hard so it is much easier to go back in again if need be.

I think we are thinking of different things. I was referring to the clear coat that you placed over your headlight lens to protect the surface after refinishing the lens. I looked up E6000 and it comes up as an adhesive.
