Does anyone actually have a roof rack and cargo box setup for the iX that doesnt scream like a banshee at highway speeds? Honestly fed up with these cheap crossbars I got online, the whistling is driving me crazy and I swear my range is taking a massive hit even when the box isnt on. Im in Denver and head up to the mountains every weekend so I need something solid before our big ski trip next month. Budget is around $1200 but honestly I just want something that fits the aero of the car better. Should I just bite the bullet on Thule or is the official BMW rack actually better for noise? I just want a quiet ride again...

> Thule WingBar Edge for BMW iX is quieter than OEM Like someone mentioned, Thule's decent, but I've found Yakima GrandTour 15 Cargo Box with Yakima JetStream Crossbars Black 50 inch is actually much quieter and fits the iX profile better imo.

- I would suggest being very careful with generic bars...
- Thule WingBar Edge for BMW iX is quieter than OEM, and Thule Motion XT L Cargo Box offers superior aerodynamics, tbh.
