personally I think it looks like the car is missing something without them. I was luck to see one at the dealership before I place my order

get them! you will regret not having them the one time a year that you will need them, like for a xmas tree.
contary to what was said above, it looks more sporty with them. |

I think it depends on your set up already on the X or if you plan to do anything else later.
Eg if your running standard spec wheels no body kit etc then it can look odd IMHO. I did it with my old one but it had a full ACS body kit exhaust suspension and ACS 22 wheels and I think it really made the car look much sportier. On the E70 I think if you have the 21s and a body kit then I would say yes it would look sportier. I did take mine off for a look and I liked it.... As for xmas trees - buy a plastic one in a box or get it delivered !!

Assuming you have no functional need for them, it is purely a matter of personal taste. I myself would pay $100 to have them left off, as I think the vehicle looks better. As another minor side benefit, is a little easier to wash and wax. The absence of roof rails also theoretically improves MPG a very minor amount, but not to any noticeable amount, unless cross rails are left in place.

Your opinion is all that matters.
But, since you asked, I think it looks better with the roof rails. I wouldn't get one without them. |

I don't have them, but I have a ski-beater and two pickup trucks.
Like the look, but might pick up a pair in a few years when the X is the ski-beater! ![]() A |
