Surfboard Rack...2003 X5 4.4
 

Anyone know of a good rack to get that won't ruin the look of my baby? Any help is appreciated...by the way, my car is black.

the profile 2000; there's a link to the link of a picture of it in my sig :thumbup:

or look at cpatzer's

I have the Thule system - it works well with my 9'6" longboard and is very low key. I think it looks better the the BMW one.

I have an '03 too - check this out.

Don't forget to get the locks.:thumbup:

whoa, that's more expensive than the BMW one

Really? I didn't like the tall towers and bulky crossbars of the BMW one so I never checked the price of it and just went with the Thule - way more low key. I had the Yakima system (round bars) when I had a '89 Jetta and it was ok but I liked the flat bars and squaty towers of the Thule.

Just curious - how much more? Does the BMW one have the different surfboard options?

$180 for the base rack

and i'm not sure about the surfing attachments. i think it was like $75...

Do you have any pics with the Thule?

No, but I will put them on and snap a few.

Here is a pic of my Thule Rack and Roof Box
 

Here is a pic of my X with the new Rapid low profile Thule set-up. The stock 53" bars fit perfectly.

Pretty sure they have a surf attachment for these types of bars.
