Roof racks
So I traded in my '08 E83 for an '11 F25 yesterday. So far so good, except the roof racks.... I had a Thule kit on the E83 with wrap around raisers with rubber strips. Obviously that does not work for F25 solid rails, so i went on looking ant got all confused.
Can someone point out to something that works on new rails, so i don't have to kill another hour sifting through random options and fit kits that don't work? My objective was to get new Thule raisers and keep my bike rack, snowboard racks and wind deflector, but it looks to me that it would be easier to just sell what I have and get a BMW base system. It this true, or there is still hope?

Oh sweet! Thank you. This does not look too bad. I guess I just need new podium raisers and a fit kit.

Thule
For my 2013 X3, I got the Thule Aeroblade Edge system, http://www.thule.com/en-us/us/produc...7501-_-1679968
along with the Thule Circuit 526 Bike Carriers - recommended by my LBS as one of the strongest and most aerodynamic. The entire setup is easy on and off. And absolute silence when driving, unless I'm carrying my bike, then it's the bike making the wind roar. Had Yakima for my X5, much happier with this Thule setup and the look is even more integrated looking than the BMW podiums, IMHO. |
