Question Roof box?

Thinking of getting a roof box for occasional use. Any advice or info pls

I think my car needs the storage system then the box

I have seen a sleek BMW one but also Thule (everywhere....)

thanks

wow those bars look cool plus cant believe that vid - really demonstrates how quiet they are... next to get them painted red



any recommendations about roof boxes - want it to be easy to use, aerodynamic, doesn't have to be that big and gloss black

Good thread and well timed.
I'm struggling with the lack of space in my E90 and have been thinking about a roof box for trips away to the continent.
For the amount of times I will use it i'm struggling to justify the cost though.
Have you thought about rental options...??

thought about it but I want to keep this car long term so would be worth buying. storage is the biggest issue for me... coz I don't have a garage
