Recommendations for roof/load bars?

I know BMW sells them, but are they good? Is there any consensus around which brands/models are 'better' and which should be avoided? Not sure if it is a thing but would want to ensure that the bars are high enough such that use of the sunroof would not be impacted (when combined with various roof racks), if this is possible. I won't say 'price is no object', but I will pay for quality.

You can take a look at Thule website, they are top notch: https://www.thule.com/en-us/roof-rack/bmw

Be aware that additionally to the roof racks, you need to buy a kit to 'connect' and secure the racks to the rails on the X1.

And then you need a carrier or a basket (carriers looks better imo):

So it could end up being very expensive.
