What cross bar system?

To me the best cross bar would be have low noise and be easy to remove.

I have the OEM cross bars. A little noisy by themselves, but tolerable, however once you put attachments on them they are noisier (at least with a Pano roof and the sun shade open). They take about 5 mins to install because you have to tighten them with a torque wrench they provide. I had a bunch of attachments from my Audi rack system (prior car) that fit perfectly, as they are both made by Votex. So if you do go the OEM rack way, you can price out attachments from VW/Audi v. BMW v. Mini, all the same mfg, to see which attachments are less expensive.

I use a Thule System with the clamp on 450 base and cross bar...Easy to install and cheap (on line for about $150USD)

Where'd you find one for $150? And is that for a complete system?

I have Thule Aerobar 861 with Rapid System 757 feet, accompanied with Deluxe 726 carriers. Works for me.

Well...It was on sears.com for $149 last week...i went there to get a copy of the instructions...Now it is $199. It is the pedestals and 50" cross bars...http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_02872314000P
