I would go with black roof rails on any color car. Any attachments you add will be black.

However, I am not sure roof rails would look good on an X6. I have not seen enough clear pics with installed.

I am still waiting word on the bike/hitch option.

More Pic's.Thanks! PalBay

Great pics Palbay

Personally, I don't think they look good on an X6. But that's my own personal opinion.

Don't like the black ones, they look very cheap and seem to be made out of plastic...

I agree. I can't believe they even offer those black ones for the X6. They look so cheap! If you have to get them then I think you have to go with the silver ones.

Chuck, I am still waiting on the hitch/bike mount info as well. I am going to go to my dealer this week and talk to parts department and figure out what the options are for this.

E91-Norway · 06-15-2008, 09:25 AM

Let the X6 be a sports car, do NOT put on this truck rails. They just kill the nice roof line.
Be cool, stay away from it! ; )

Palbay · 06-15-2008, 10:19 AM

simon s , No matter if the roof rails are black or silver....IMO...they kill the very sporty roof line silhouette BMW tried so hard to hit w/ the X6! Thanks.PalBay

JOHNBMWM5 · 06-15-2008, 10:32 AM

Those roof rails look total crap, I would not spoil the lines of the X6 with that rubbish IMO.

simon š · 06-15-2008, 01:05 PM

Thanks for all the help guys and sugg ,the chrom rails look amazing the black ones looks really cheap.Does anyone has the part number for chrom roof rails or know where to get them (in which part sales bmw near or in miami the have it?Im also looking to order chrom lanes also and i will install them later when i have the car......

Just got back from the dealer and picked up an accessories catalog. The hitch costs $500. There is actually a Rear-Mounted Bike Carrier that looks nice that still allows the tow hitch and open the tailgate for $500. The hitch mounted Swing-Away Bike Carrier (4 bikes) is $425.

There is suppose to be a bike carrier like the X5 has that uses the tow hooks on the rear bumper instead of the the tow hitch itself. This makes it about $500 total instead of $2k.

Oddly, they are not listed in the accessories catalog. They must be a special order part from the parts department. I did not ask while I was there because I do not have any interest in them

simon š · 06-16-2008, 04:02 PM

If you ordered 5.0 you have the chrom lanes already

xDrive50i · 06-16-2008, 04:55 PM

Simon s, I believe these are the numbers you are looking for:

Roof railing, silver: 3AS

Roof railing, matt black: 386

Actually if you are referring to the chrome trim around the windows then I will not be able to get that. I actually really want that option but the sport package (at least in the US) deletes the chrome trim around windows and adds the black shadowline trim. All of the pictures that I keep seeing of the 50i all have the chrome trim and I like but my dealer can't figure out how I can get it.

Shenard, ask your dealer if they can simply remove option 760 (Shadow Line), maybe that will give you the standard chrome trim.

Personally, I prefer to have as little chrome as possible on my cars. I'm glad that the high-gloss shadow line on my order removed all chrome around the windows...

I will ask but I think it is included as part of the Sport and cannot be removed

xDrive50i · 06-16-2008, 11:18 PM

My dealer told me that I can request either an addition or deletion of any kind of optional item that is available for a particular model. Basically the way this works is that your dealer has to email BMW in Germany and ask if it is doable. Assuming you request this before or during the time your car is being build, and they can accommodate your request, you will have to pay for the cost of the optional item or change request along with a custom order fee.

I am looking into adding a few extra features to my fully loaded X6 xDrive50i. I found out that the German version of the X6 has a couple of options that are not listed in the US or Canadian X6 brochure.

morty · 06-17-2008, 08:36 AM

Interesting... What are the options which are available to German buyers that are not listed for North American drivers?
