I'm bringing up this thread again as received no major responses.

I'm interested in thule roof box and roof bars for my X1. I was thinking buying the original BMW roof bars from ebay but I dont know if these will be compatible to fit a Thule box cause I dont like BMW boxes.

Please for those having fitted roof bars, roof boxes, etc can you post what did you bought, how it looks, aerodynamic sounds, photos, etc...

Please..?

Hi Dimitris - go to Thule's website - it's pretty comprehensive about which models their products support.

I really would visit your local Thule dealer - seems you're worrying too much.

My cousin bought a brand new Freelander, and bought Thule racks and a Thule roofbox - he drove down 650 miles to the coast and back with his family - no problems.

Brilliant wee things those. That one is quite big, some of the smaller ones are really easy to handle and even store up-ended on their tails.

Never quite understood why they are not that popular here. I would love one of these for my trips up North......mmmm now there is an idea.
