This is what a lot of the guys on the X5 board have done to eliminate their racks because there is no option like the SRT rails for the X5 (Gen 1 models). They take the plugs and paint them to match body color.
I took mine off a month or two ago and filled the holes with silicone. I got plugs from the auto part store, but they were a tad to big so I left them out. Kind of regret doing it since it doesn't look as nice, but it's an easy fix.
Just make sure to use a lot of sealant so it doesn't leak. And use a wet paper towel when filling them to wipe up the excess.
