BMW roof box for F31

Spielzeugauto · 11-27-2018, 02:15 AM

Hi there, just ordered myself a 2019 Touring and looking for a roof box.

Had anyone got the BMW 420, 460, or 530 box on an F31?

Thanks 😃

I use a Thule box on my F31. They have all sizes depending upon what you want to carry. Just be careful when you install it that the hatch doesn't hit the box when it is open.
Thule also has the attachments and crossbars available for the F31.
Enjoy you new toy!

Thanks!
Would be you recommend a Thule box over the BMW ones?
I'd love to see your car with the roof box mounted ☺️

I believe some of the BMW branded boxes are just rebadged/painted Thules.

Just got the OEM setup with the updated 420 box. Car sits at 6 foot 4 inches tall with box installed. Clears my garage by 1-2 inches.

Can get a little lower profile by going with aftermarket crossbars.

I have a huge Thule box (from my previous SUVs) on my wagon right now. Works great.

I've had an Inno Shadow 15 for a couple years and been quite happy with it. It has a lower profile than anything else I could find, but still plenty of room inside for skis, packs, etc. Even fit a ski pulk in it once. I'll see if I can find a picture to attach.
