Now if you had attachments on top of the cross bars then yes maybe some of the issues you talk about could arise no doubt!

Yeah, I think the Thule recommendation is more like a blanket one for all of their products. Just the roof rails vs having a box on them is big difference. They do make a quite a bit of noise at higher speeds though and my dealer will not put the car through their car wash if you have them on. I actually like the way the Mini looks with them on as well. I'll be ordering the OEM ones for the X5 when it gets here.

Slowly but surely getting through the break-in period, can't wait until I can finally open it up. But even at half throttle so far it's a riot.
