roof rails and box
hello, do you have any recommendations for roof rails and roof box? i am driving a bmw x1 (new one) but would like something that i can use with different brands too.
i don't really know what are the aspects to pay attention to: i believe there's the shape of the rails and of the box that can cause more or less sound when you drive fast, but apart from that i'd not know what i am looking for. thanks for suggestions |

1st. The OEM cross bars are very tall and bulky and don’t come in black. I got these Thule WingBar Edge cross bars. They are low profile. The moonroof still opens just fine and they are aerodynamic. https://www.thule.com/en-us/roof-rac...edge-_-1035184 For the roof box I got the Thule Motion XT Large. I think the XL will fit fine too but it was bigger than I need. https://www.thule.com/en-us/cargo-ca...n-3-l-_-639750 The Motion XT are nice because they are gloss black. |

my BMW dealer has the roof racks dedicated for the 2023-2024 X1(U11) for just $287 + sales tax. I have the Thule box from my other car. I just wish the Thule racks don't cost twice as much as the BMW factory racks. |

Truly crazy how expensive they are. I really only went that route for MPG and the look of lower profile rails.
