Hi

I'm looking at adding ski and kayak carrying racks to my X3 and reviewing both BWM OEM and Thule options.

BMW do not make a Kayak rack, so that part needs to be from Thule, but..

1. Does anyone know/have direct experience of Thule parts mounting to BMW OEM bars? The BMW bars are cheaper that Thule, hence attractive.

2. ANyone have opinions of Thule vs BMW OBM bars in terms of fit and quality

3. Anyone have THule bars on their 2011 X3 yet? Website says the required 'fitting kit' should be available Aug 1, but no one has one to sell.

Thanks, Paul
