Hi June!

We do have options for your 2023 BMW X5 with those flush rails, but the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL84AR is only going to fit the raised rails, unfortunately.

What you are going to want is the Rhino-Rack Sportz Roof Rack for Flush Rails - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 # RR76KG. It is more expensive, but will attach in a similar way to the Malone rack, though it is compatible with flush rails. I included a picture of this installed on an X5 with those flush rails for reference as well.

What are you going to be carrying on your roof?

Thanks for the clarification. We will be attaching a ski rack to it (specifically the Kuat Switch for 6 skiis).

@JuneL Nice! The Kuat Switch is a pretty sweet ski carrier and will definitely fit on this roof rack. : ) Let me know if there is anything else I can help with and have fun out there!
