Hi!

I have a 2010 X6 M in Saphire Black. Need you opinon on whether to put OEM roof rails on the car or not. And if so, the black ones or silver ones. Thanks everyone!

IMO. I think it takes away from the roof line of the car. I tossed around this idea as well but opted against it. I wonder if it would increase wind noise?

I would pass, don't like the look

Roof rails are for offroaders

Keep the X6 sporty!

Ok let me be subtle , putting roof rails on an X6 is blasphemous , on an X6M unnatural act.

GJM · 05-28-2010, 05:57 PM

No

chuck92103 · 05-28-2010, 07:09 PM

Unless you need them and will use them avoid roof rails on the X6. They don't look good.

An X5 looks good and needs rails to finish off the truck.

itsme123 · 05-28-2010, 11:59 PM

Thanks everyone for the help. I think I see a trend here...lol. I will not put them on :-)

X5 yes but X6 no. unless it's going to be functional to you otherwise it doesn't look good on X6.

NO!!

jocamryn · 05-30-2010, 01:09 PM

do what you want? For a car that pricey, I wouldn't be asking strangers about how I should option it out... It's a sweet a$$ ride in any configuration

I think they make the x6 look more sporty, I have them on my mineral silver. Lots have admired the look.

DK35 · 05-30-2010, 08:22 PM

nope

T89 · 05-30-2010, 09:18 PM

I kinda like them, especially with this configuration:

Just looks wrong.

Hamed · 06-01-2010, 03:52 AM

Keep the X6 sporty!

The only thing wrong with the 6 in these pics are the roof rails as well the silver kidney grills.
If you go black, it should all be black. Just saying is all.

Sweet rims btw. I was thinking of getting mine finished black or a deep gun metal.
