Item Interest

Looking for a thule roof rack, basically the parts below:

podium feet 460 (4)
LB50 50 Load Bar Pack (2)
fit kit 3028
871XT fairing

i like the thule rack because it is all black and doesn't rise up as high as the bmw oem rack.

i got the oem rack used for ~$115 on ebay (no fairing).. works great, just saying, will be a lot cheaper than thule...

Just put the OEM rack on my car and wow does the thing add wind noise over 45 mph. Like to drive with the sunroof tilted up in the back, but no more. Now I know why others have fairings in the front.

agreed.. but with only 4 small screws to install/uninstall, not a problem.. i just put it on when I need it ~2-3 min.. so, only noisy when in use..
