Pulled the trigger yesterday on Yakima Whispbar and Thule Hyper 612 for my 2012 X5 35d. For the uninitiated, the Whispbar has an aerodynamic shape which means no noise, and no increase in gas consumption. It also has a low profile sleek look matching the vehicle perfectly. I added the Thule Hyper 612 roof box. Recently, I purchased the BMW rear mounted bicycle carrier, so I am ready for spring/summer 2013! Beauty of this is that I had a $259 REI Dividend + a 20% off coupon on the first item - took this on the Thule Hyper, and walked away all in for $946.68 including tax and shipping to the store (free). The Thule Hyper costs almost that on it's own, so I am a happy camper, literally! See photo's attached.
