And 20% off with BMWCCA discount so right around 200 out the door. That gives me an excuse to go new.

Thanks!

Should look at getting a set of Rola crossbar. They look more OEM then the OEM bars. I have them on my X and use them for my Thule Roof Box in the winter when we go skiing and the Thule bike racks in the summer.

This site has a list I found helpful for the e53 roof load bars. I've ordered from them in the past and they have been good to work with.

https://www.etrailer.com/roof-2005_BMW_X5.htm

Both the Rola and the Thule 7503s get my vote as the sit low.

Havent fitted cross bars before because dont like the raised OE ones or similar.

Fitted these yesterday to my X5 .They were cut to size ,are made of aluminium and are available in silver or black.
No wind noise at all ,upto 100kph ,but some wind noise thereafter ,as expected from a cross bar.

Bought them from Ebay UK seller,very friendly and helpful.Posted via Fedex and he will also post to US!

At $100 they are a good buy, I just sold a set fr $150.
The set I had were marked E53...and I used them on my E39 touring (1999) and E53 X5 (2006)
Make sure you get the instructions and the wrench....in the manner of BMW "stuff" they are a bit complicated to get them on right.
