I recommend to use the Yakima Roof Rack for the 2020 BMW X3 with part # Y00425 for the JetStream bars, part # Y00145 for the towers and part # Y06031 for the fit kit. The Yakima bars are aerodynamic to eliminate wind noise and also a t-slot to easily mount accessories.

I recommend the Inno Wedge 660 Rooftop Cargo Box part # INBRM660BK which is a nice low profile cargo box that is capable of carrying a decent amount of cargo with it's 11 cubic feet of space. It will allow the rear hatch of the BMW to open fully with the box on the roof and the Yakima roof rack installed. It's dual access so you can easily access cargo from either side of the vehicle. I recommend to add the T-slot mounting hardware part # INBRP12 to mount the box to the t-slots of the bars.
