I am picking up my wife's X3 35i today! I bought the Thule Podium 460 and fit kit. We have a Yakima Sidewinder rack that needs to be mounted on Yakima round or Thule square bars. I had wanted the BMW but the Thule looks nice in the box. Yakima doesn't make a solution for our car that will hold the Sidewinder.
Regards, Bob [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] ....will post one once I load to the X3. Last edited by ponti33609; 06-04-2013 at 04:55 PM.. |

Question: why are you thinking of switching if you already have the OEM base system?

the oem base was for my 3series and they do not fit my x3. and as i already have bike racks, so i want to look for a x3 base that will work with the bike racks.

Just remember you need the fit kit too. Ask whichever rack place you call about your bars. I bet you can use those too.

I am not 100% but one of the big online rack stores may know or I would bring a bar to my local bike store and try it in the Thule Podium. My hunch is it will fit.
