Question:

I have a BMW X5 2018 I need crossbars for the flush mount type of rails on my car. Im curious which ones can be used with my sunroof, obviously not while there is stuff up there,but when its empty. Can you advise, please?

Thank you for all of the information!

I really like the Thule Evo Flush Rail kits because they look nice, are easy to use/install, and there will be enough clearance for you to still open up your sunroof. Here are the part you need for a Thule roof rack on your 2018 BMW X5:

53" WingBar Evo Crossbars - # TH711420
Evo Flush Rail Feet - # TH710601
Fit Kit - # TH186007
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional)

If you let me know what you plan on using the roof rack for I'd be more than happy to make an additional recommendation for you!
