Hey there.. Have the oem bars for 2014 m sport x1. Love em'. I use them for carrying surfboards, and also have the oem surfboard rack which works great.

Only thing is they sit a little high, but i was willing to sacrifice subtle looks for more than a $200 savings vs. going with the Thule bars. Also the clamping system is a little finicky and notice that I scratched the paint on the rails a little bit.. (Probably because I installed them in a rush to go surfing). Either way, I recommend them.. Good racks for the price.. Btw, there is little to no noise from them.
