Raised rails on the roof of the X5

Raised rails are easy to recognize. They stand above the roof and you can easily slip your fingers between them and the car surface along their entire length. The roof rack feet attach by directly clamping around their profile.

The second generation of the X5 was produced from 2006 to 2013. If you have a car from the transition years, check the exact year of manufacture in your vehicle documents, because the older generation X5 E53 and the newer X5 F15 have different roof design solutions.

Crossbar selection and practical use

The BMW X5 is one of the taller vehicles, which affects cargo handling. When loading a roof box or bicycles, it helps to open the door and step on the sill to reach the center of the roof.

If you already have your own roof box or bike racks at home, pay attention to the profile of the selected bars. Accessories are attached either by sliding into the T-track in the crossbar or by wrapping around the bar profile.

What to check before ordering

Package contents vary for individual products. We therefore recommend checking the package contents and installation instructions directly in the detail of the specific product.

Before traveling with full equipment, consider the total weight. The roof load capacity includes the weight of the cargo, crossbars, and the box itself, with the exact limit stated in the vehicle manual.

Choose a suitable set according to your planned use or go to the parent category BMW X5.
