Ski Bag
Well expecting my new X6 end a the end of march. Can't wait
One question for any one into skiing. I did not order the pull thru the center of the rear seat ski bag cause in Canada it comes with a premium of close to $2000.00. Yes you can only get it with a useless package for me. Can I get one installed solo in the States? Does it really accomodate 4 pairs of skis? Thanks and thanks again for the advices I read here prior to buying |

No, you couldn't put 4 skis inside! Unless you tear the skibag when you pull out the skis.
When we put 2 adult and 1 kid skis and bars inside, there was crowdy allready. And (very) hard to pull the skis out, too! |

From German pricelist:
Roof rails / black matt: 270 EUR, or Roof rails / silver matt: 390 EUR + Roof Box approx. 350 EUR. Last edited by baufix; 03-17-2009 at 04:26 PM.. Reason: price correction |

Thanks for the info, but would still like to know if the ski bag only can be retrofitted in the States, even if it means only two skis will fit in.
I don't like roof box myself as it takes away from the good looks of the car and the cleanliness of my skiing outfit. I can never get the skis out of the box without getting all the dirt on my ski jacket that I pick-up on the way up to the ski hills |

I'm not sure for the States, but I believe it's impossible to retrofit ski bag in Europe.
Rear bench is in one peace originally, without a hole for a ski bag. I can't imagine how could you make a rectangular hole to put a ski bag inside. |

Is the BMW roof box more expensive than a Thule? Don't care if it's written BMW on the box or not. And I need a roof box for other stuff, not only for skis. . .in summertime.

As you can see on the picture above there is a cut out already for the ski bag all I need is the ski bag I guess |

I would suggest just posting the url instead of the html code easier for folks to look. If you have the hatch in back of seat and cutout in front ( in armrest), so there is basically a hole if you remove plastic hatch on back of seat I guess it might work.

If you do not order the ski-bag option when you purchase your car, you do not get that opening and hence it will be REALLY hard if you try to retrofit the car with a ski-bag. If you wanted to do so, you would have to replace the back rest (the 60% part) of the back seat as you can see in baufix's picture.

In case you haven't seen them, check out some of the pictures that some other forum members have posted of their X6 trailer hitch hookups. I think that BMW did a good job in integrating the trailer hitch in the lower bumper section. Just in case you are actually considering a trailer...
