Helpful Expert Reply:
For fitting a cargo box and a bike rack on the roof of you 2016 BMW X3 I would recommend going with a 60 inch long crossbar roof rack to give you as much room as possible. For that the Yakima JetStream roof rack part numbers # Y00426, # Y00145, and # Y06008 would be what I recommend as this setup is a confirmed fit for your 2016 BMW X3 and comes with 60 inch bars which would work well.
