Roof rack
Just got me a 50i sitting on the dealer lot with all the options that I wanted on the 40i I ordered. The 40i has been sitting in Awaiting Carrier state for almost a month and got impatient waiting. Glad I got the V8! So fast and the sound is awesome!
The question is will the roof rack cross bars from the prior generation X5 work on this G05 or will there be new ones available? Need it to carry skis and snowboards. My prior Infiniti QX80 has plenty of interior room for this stuff. |

Did you ever try this? I have an OEM rack for the E70. Looks identical to the one being sold for G05. Think it will work?

That's what I thought at first but figured it out. Loosen it, make sure the far side is where you want it, put the other side at an angle, and slide on. Then just make sure they're lined up and tighten down.

Thule system for G05:
- Thule 460R Rapid Podium Foot Pack (4) - Thule 53” Aeroblade Cross Bars (Pair) - ARB53 - Thule 4023 fit kit Each link above provides everything you need, the 4 feet, the two bars, the set of 4 clamps that are specific to the G05 roof rails. You could get the 47 inch Aeroblade cross bars if you don’t want the ends to extend - with the 53 inch, they extend about 3 inches on both sides, which I need. If you wanted a fixed bar system, I believe the Thule 7603 system will fit the G05 and you would still need the 4023 fit kit. |

Ok, I'll try again. I'm glad that this will fit. I was about to put it up on the classified section and buy a thule.
