Hey Jason. I checked with Thule and I see two different styles of roof racks for the 2023 BMW X3.
The 37-1/2" Long - Thule WingBar Edge Crossbar item # TH26SC would use the 38" Long - AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars item # TH72WV.
The 50" Long - Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars item # TH711320 would use the 44" Long AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars item # TH82WV.
What style and size crossbars do you have on your 2023 BMW X3?

Your team helped me get a Thule fit kit and Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars in 2023 when I bought the car. When I put it on my car, the bars whistle. I know that they have enclosures on the bottoms that you’re supposed to slide over to where they meet the mount. those are pushed up to the mounts as far as they can. I’ve got the rubber material on the top and the bottom closed, but the crossbows are still super loud so I was thinking that one of these fairings would lessen the noise but I’d rather leave this on instead of taking it off every day after I’m done using it. I don’t worry about the decreased gas mileage just the noise the rack makes when it’s on. So I think I’ll order the 44” XT
