What size Thule fairing for 330i roof rack?

Malvoe1 · 04-11-2007, 06:12 PM

I bought a thule roof rack from the UK to fit my 330i. What size fairing should I use? I've been searching everywhere, but can't figure it out. Thanks.

Bump - having this question too. Thule's product finder recommends the 38" fairing but it seems the 44" would be a wider and better fit

I think 44" is right TH872XT

on E92

Can't imagine it wouldn't fit E90

I opted for the XT871 as the XT872 seemed too long/wide for me. I'd go to a place lie REI and ask them to allow you to take each fairing outside so you can decide which is right for you. Good luck!

Be careful as some car wash blowers will break the $1.50 clips that you have to use. Trust me on this one......

Good idea on going to REI. Will have to check them out

Do you have any pics with the fairing on?

I got the 871XT (38in) one of my car, looks pretty good.

Hey Pizaul,

Does the 38 inch Thule fairing attach well to the BMW OEM Bars? I've read in a few threads that it does not snap in correctly. Let me know, thanks!
