Pros

Bmw x5 rails work well, are easy to install, and fit perfectly. Easy to install and easy to fit. Fits perfectly…other generics not so well.

Easy to install, fit and finish typical bmw quality. Road noise is minimal, although i keep the moonroof shade shut to keep it as quiet as possible.

Quality


Fits perfectly, stay on tight easy to re-install if you use the stickers provided with the unit.


Expensive but so are all bmw oem product.


Also there were no instructions with the rack so a visit to you tube fixed that.


The rack could be sold with the strip installed so not sure why it's done by the buyer.

Price


Price is higher but i think it’s worth it.

Packaging/appearance


Oddly like many oem items from bmw, bmw does a terrible job of packaging this as well, which are often easily tore up during shipping.

Competitiveness


Perfect fit for my 2016 x5 35i.


It fits my 2014 bmw x5 perfectly.


Make sure it works with your model bmw before you buy.

    They also leave the keys in the lock cores so if package gets set down hard on either end which it invariably will keys will get jammed into the lock cores permanently damaging them


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Unfortunately they cant just send you replacement lock cores so youll end up wasting a staggering amount of time trying to reconstruct the box just to ship it back


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The front bar has mini wind spoilers underneath to quiet the whistle the back ones dont since the front is probably creating turbulence for the back


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However in reality you could put them anywhere that doesnt interfere with the rear hatch opening as the rail is continuous from front to back


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I looked at the other roof racks that are available here on amazon and ebay and decided to go with original bmw


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I wanted to make sure i wouldnt have any issues
