Roof Rack and Cargo Box Recommendation for 2020 BMW X3
Question:
I just got a 2020 BMW X3 and I would like to install a roof rack and a cargo box on it. What do you recommend for this?

Expert Reply:
I recommend going with the Yakima JetStream roof rack setup for your 2020 BMW X3 along with a Yakima cargo box. Not only does the JetStream system look great, but the feet has small adjustments in them that give you the best fit possible!
For this system you need 50" JetStream Crossbars # Y00425, along with the RidgeLine Towers # Y00145, and Fit Kit # Y06031.
Then according to my research you can add any of the linked Yakima cargo boxes to your roof! I recommend the SkyBox NX 16 # Y95AV because it has a decent amount of cargo space with 16 cu ft, and a sporty design to match the look of your X3.
One of the best things about both components coming from Yakima is that you can use the Yakima SKS Lock Cores # Y07206 so that all of the locks on your roof rack and cargo box are the same which means you just need 1 key for the whole setup!
