Thule Edge Fixed Point Roof Rack Installation on a 2025 BMW M340i
The 2025 BMW M340i is a sporty performance sedan that still needs practical carrying options for Alberta road trips and daily life in Calgary. With factory fixed points, it is rack-ready, but only with the correct components and a vehicle-specific fit kit. For this installation, our AQ Outdoors rack team set up a Thule WingBar Edge Fixed Point system for a clean, low-profile base rack. The result is a strong and secure platform for accessories like cargo boxes, ski racks, and bike racks.
Clean, Secure Fit on the BMW M340i
This BMW M340i features fixed mounting points built into the roof. Because of this design, the rack system must connect using a vehicle-specific fit kit designed for this exact model and roof type.
The Thule Edge system uses precision-fit components that interface directly with the BMW’s mounting points. Once installed, the crossbars sit low and level, giving a near-factory look while maintaining strong load capability and excellent accessory compatibility.
What We Installed on This BMW M340i
- Thule Fit Kit For Evo/Edge Fixpoint 187056
- Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars 95 cm Black
- Thule Edge Fixed Point Rail Footpack
- Thule One-Key System 6 Pack
Why This Rack Setup Works for Calgary Drivers
- Direct fit for BMW fixed points using a vehicle-specific kit
- Low-profile WingBar Edge look that suits the M340i
- Compatible with Thule accessories like cargo boxes and ski racks
- Ideal for four-season Alberta use, including winter road trips
Important Fit Note: BMW Fixed Point Variations
Some vehicles, including the BMW M340i, can have important year-to-year or trim-level differences that affect roof rack fit. The correct fit kit depends on the exact model year and roof configuration, and using the wrong one may lead to poor fit or performance issues.

Professional Installation by Our Calgary Team
This installation was completed with the same attention to detail we bring to every roof rack project:
- Verified the correct components for this specific vehicle
- Installed and aligned the fixed point mounting hardware
- Adjusted bar placement for accessory compatibility

Total install time was about 30 minutes, including mounting a cargo box and completing a key change so the bars and box use the same key using the Thule One-Key System.
