Will the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack System 7503 Fit on a 2012 BMW X5 with Raised Side Rails
Question:
Hello - I am trying to buy the product: Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack for Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - Black for a 2012 BMW X5 with factory side rails. I wanted to double check with you guys to confirm that they will fit. Your website says that they will but the reason for my hesitation is that the Thule website says that they will not fit this vehicle. Can you confirm? Thanks.

We have tested the Thule AeroBlade Edge roof rack kit # TH7503-TH7503 on the factory side rails of a similar BMW X5 and it has been confirmed by us as a fit for these vehicles. There are occasions where manufacturers haven't tested products on vehicles that we have, for whatever reason, and this is one of those cases. Thule didn't intend for this rack to be a fit on the raised side rails on your BMW but it turns out they fit, so you can rest assured that you'll be able to use this rack system.
I've linked a short review video of a similar BMW X5 that shows these being used and installed that you can have a look at, as well.
