Fitted today and they're pretty decent quality, especially for the money.

The order contains:

1 x CRUZ (35) 118cm alu bars (2) Airo FIX DARK 118, no. 925-713 (BMW 3 series four door saloon (2019 onwards))

1 x CRUZ OptiPLUS FIX fitting kit no. CR6032 (936-032) (BMW 3 series four door saloon (2019 onwards))

1 x CRUZ set of four identical lock barrels no. 932-014 (BMW 3 series four door saloon (2019 onwards))
Just looking at your photos Tricky6, the bars look smart in black and I like your colour, less omnipresent than my blue but are your roof bars the wrong way round? They should be like an aircraft wing - tapered towards the back, this might reduce the wind noise that you have experienced.

I did wonder about this when fitting. The instructions weren't that clear. I figured it was more like a spoiler to reduce lift. Will try it the other way around and see! If I take off and crash I'll blame you ;-)
