Expert Reply:
To carry a paddle board on the roof of your 2012 BMW 328i you'll want to start with a roof rack. For that I recommend using the Rhino Rack roof rack kit for BMW 3 Series that uses parts # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK292, which will give you a durable and easy to install roof rack that comes with locks included to keep everything secure.
Once you've installed your roof rack you can use the Rhino-Rack SUP and Surfboard Pads w/ Tie-Downs for Crossbars - Universal - 33-1/2" Long - Qty 2 # RRRWP05 on the crossbars to keep your board from getting scratched up; this kit comes with tie-down straps included to help secure the board so it's a nice, cost effective solution to give you everything you need to get to the beach or lake.
I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out, as well.
