Expert Reply:
The Thule AeroBlade Edge has been discontinued, so Thule unfortunately doesn't offer a fit kit for your vehicle. That being said, there are Thule roof rack fits for your 2021 BMW X3. Thule offers the WingBar Evo roof rack, which would consist of the following parts:
• 50 Inch WingBar Evo crossbar, in silver as part # TH711300 or black as part # TH711320
• Evo flush rail feet, part # TH710601
• Vehicle specific fit kit, part # TH186007
I've linked to a demonstration video showing this rack on a 2020 X3 model.
The Thule Force XT cargo box you'd looked at, part # TH6358B would be an excellent chioice. If is compatible with the roof rack recommended above, and will allow rear hatch clearance as long as the crossbars are installed so the front bar is as far forward as allowable. I've also linked to a demonstration video for the cargo box.
