I had the BMW base system on my older model X6 and the wind noise was brutal. Seeing as I paid for the upgraded sound system and double-thick glass on my new X5, I'd like noise at highway speed to be limited, especially when I'm not carrying skis and only the rack is installed.

I have the OEM bars on my X5 and noticed a bit of whistling when they were mounted where the manual recommended.. which was 460mm from front and 700mm in between (for the F15 X5). When I moved them back about 100mm the whistling sound almost completely went away.
