Post back with your results. I think my rear is a little too low for loaded conditions. I'd like to get another couple of millimeters wheel gap back before I consider rolling back to 19"s

CQM is a very unique color for sure, but then again I'm just slightly biased you feel me breh?! On god man!

Finally got a break in the rain to wash and wax Hanz. A fresh wax job adds at least 10 hp at the wheel.

Anyone have a recommendation for a reasonably price roof box (US)?

Also do you use the BMW cross bars?

Thanks!

Reasonably priced…I had to think of it as a long term purchase and divide the price of the Thule over x number of road trips. Stock BMW bars.

The OEM cross bars are half the price of some competitors and are really easy to mount/dismount. I think they're even made by Thule. The only downside is the cross bar height, which is higher than some of the other aero bars. For carriers, unfortunately you pay for what you get.

That extra height can work to your advantage with snowboards. If you have a rack that holds 4 snowboards, some of the lower profile racks won't allow 2 to be placed upside down, as the bindings make contact with the roof. The BMW bars plus ski/snowboard attachment allow enough height for that.

I also have Thule Aero bars from my previous E61, but it was cheaper to purchase used BMW bars then it was to purchase new Thule feet and fit kit for the F31.

Also, just in case you do get a roof box, check its width. I have a older BMW bike holder (with upright) and cannot fit the Thule box and bike holder on the rack side by side. With Thule bars you can go with wider ones, that might allow for the box and another attachment, but they'll stick out a bunch past the feet.
