Do people really want these? I'm on the fence aesthetically but I'm wondering if it matters for resale. I know you can buy Thule racks that don't need the rails but they're not cheap. Most SUVs come with them standard but I'm not sure how I feel about them on the X2.

Out here most people want them. The new style is so much better than the old “handle” look. I will definitely add them, will use them for bikes and skis.

I hope to use my Thule aeroblade roof bars - the rails on the BMW seem similar to those that were on a previous vehicle so hoping I dont have to do any retrofitting. Anyone else using Thule bars on these rails?

I like them... I even installed a tow hitch should I feel like taking my atv somewhere...
On a resale as a buyer I'd be more interested how well the car was taken care of mechanically not the presence/absence of roof rails... but that's just me

So those are Thule bars you are using?
The X2 looks nice and sporty in that setting!

Can you have a dealer install them after you've bought/ordered your X2?

I spoke to my mate who is working in BMW regarding the rail.
He said it is possible, however it will probably take around 3-4 hours of labour, which will cost around AU$1000 including parts here in australia..
I do have the part numbers if you need it.
