I tried the Seasucker but the fins on our roof makes mounting it a challenge and I did not want to risk it with all the flew the carbon roof has.

I wanted to go with the BMW roof rails because it would be a guaranteed fit but decided to risk trying the Thule Aeroblade Edge for the G20. Happy to report that it fits. I love how sleek it looks with how thin the blades are and the black color they come in. Ride noise was pretty good IMO, don't think I will need a fairing.

Here are some pics of it installed..It is super easy and took less than 30 minutes.

Thanks for the confirmation that the Thule G20 parts fit the G80.

Just installed the AeroBlade Edge 7602B with the 3174 Adapter Kit on my '23 M3 xDrive and it fits perfectly. I'll be running the SnowPack Extender to mount my board when the time comes 👍🏼

Not so fun fact: the AeroBlade 7602B only comes in single Qty's. You have to buy each rail individually. I almost pulled out a loan when I found out I had to buy a second rail lol
