I would just go with the Thule load bars, they mount directly to all of the BMW roof rails I have had and work very well. Benefit is you can use one key for all the locks.
If you do get the BMW load bars, make sure you get the locking ones (other posters have reported that they come both ways, with and without locks).

I recently ordered the Thule 91726 Universal Ski / Snowboard Rack...it didn't work as the OEM cross-members I have were too thick. So I removed the cross-members and purchased the Thule 5401 Snowcat Ski-Snowboard Rack. It locks onto the OEM roof rails and worked perfectly. Member brian5 hooked me up with the below link:
http://www.orsracksdirect.com/thule-...ard-racks.html A rep from Inno says theirs will fit the X5 cross-members but i went with the Thule Snowcat instead. Last edited by chilliwilli; 12-17-2008 at 10:29 PM. |

This website is great! Well, I'm thinking about getting the same one as yours(#91726)
By the way, I just got an email from a guy at the Thule said that the 91726 and two other carriers will fit the BMW base support system with a Xadaptor 7.

I'm using Yakima crossbars mounted on the BMW OEM rails with Yakima towers. They seem to work well with Thule also. I have a Thule Cascade Cargo box.
You can't go wrong with either Thule or Yakima. If you haven't bought the crossbars yet and thinking of getting the Thule snowboard rack, just stick with the entire Thule system and as mentioned from previous post, try and get the same locks for the whole system.

Will 47'' aero crossbars(450R) fit my E70?
or would it be too short? I don't like bars sticking out at all...
