Purchased a roof box and set of Whisperbars for X3. Nice fit and a Quieter ride than standard bars.

Thanks for posting - it looks like a smart set-up.  I had some standard Thule bars on my E60 and they made a terrible racket even at low speeds (reminds me that I could sell them, now I've got rid of the car).  I thought about roof boxing the X5 when we go camping, but I think it's too high for me at 5 11) so I'll pull a trailer instead. 

Friends of mine are very happy with their Thule Easy Box, which sits on a towbar mounted bike carrier.  Looks unusual but seems effective.

Nice additions. Never realised standard bars made so much noise.

My roof bars are OEM and with the right fittings for the box they're not what I'd call noisy - but those do look good.

I looked at the easy box and realy liked it but Her indoors would not let me spend the extra on fitting a towbar.

Square bars, sticking out bars past bodywork, 60-70-80mph = wind noise and wind whistle,

True story.
