Me too. In fact I use the roof rack to carry our bikes in the winter and a Thule cargo box in the winter for our skis. What the use of buying a Sport Activity Vehicle if you don't use it to haul your sport activities equipment. It is also used to haul a jet boat and jet ski.

How do you get the jet boat on the roof rack?

Not all cars (E53) in Europe have them, depended on how dealers or importers ordered them. I have an (originally) Italian sold X5 without the roof rails - I like it without. Technically the rack are the bars you add (left to right) to mount your skiis, carrier box, roof bike rack, etc.
