In order to have a complete roof rack for your 2011 BMW X6 you will need the following products that you referenced:

Thule Load Bars # TH711420
Thule Rapid Traverse Foot Pack # TH480R
Thule Roof Rack Fit Kit # THKIT1526

The line you referenced in our product description that says, The towers mount to your vehicle using vehicle-specific clips sold separately that snap into place on the towers in seconds with Thules EasyClick bracket-attachment system, is referring to the fit kit # THKIT1526. If you get all three parts you referenced you will have a complete roof rack for your vehicle.

I attached an installation video for this product for you to check out also.
