I deliberately went for bars with an overhang - they don't look as elegant as the BMW bars but the track is wider which is more practical. My view is that when I'm loading stuff onto the roof then style largely goes out of the window. I won't be riding around with just the bars on - they'll come off as soon as I'm done.

The Thule aerobars for the X3 are even wider at 127cm compared to the 122cm for my Atera's. That's an extra inch overhang either side for the Thules.
