So... available accessories?

Looking for information on accessories for my X3M.

So, is it pretty much a given that accessories that would fit the X3 4.0 would fit the X3M? I'm looking at some way to transport my bicycle outside the car, preferrably on a roof rack system. I do not have any experience with BMWs roof base system for the rails on my X3M, and I would really like to use my Thule bike racks with it, if possible.

Anyone look into this yet? Or have some info on it? X3M accessories and info seems a little slim at the moment.

Thule doesn't have 2020 info yet. They have 2019 info, which I would think would be logical that it would fit, but their base load bar systems are $$ and I'd rather be sure before ordering anything.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

For fitment, the roof rail setup is the same as on the 2018-19 G01 X3. Thule has some good options!

I still trying to decide if I want a Thule solution, but so far the SeaSucker has been working great for me so far, as I usually just carry one bike to the trails on the weekends or vacation.

There we go.. I see your seasucker setup in garage. Are both of those on the panoramic glass?

You could fit all the cups on the pano glass if you wanted, there’s room. For whatever reason, I put the front two cups on the paint, and the other two on the glass. Also, I have a thru axle boost fork, so I swapped the SeaSucker Mount with a Rocky Mounts HotRod mount. This makes getting the bike on & off simple by eliminating the spacer.

thanks for posting! is there something better about the rocky mount versus the thru axle options via seasucker?

Unless they have a new one, the SeaSucker mount isn’t Boost, so they have a spacer that makes it harder to mount with one person bc you can’t set the fork and then grab the skewer. It’s a bit of a circus act. The Rocky Mount is spaced for boost (& comes with permanent spacers), so it’s easy.

For a road bike or non-boost fork the SeaSucker should be fine.
