Pics of BMW rack with Thule box

The BMW racks go on in 4-5 minutes and the Thule box mounts in 2-3 minutes.

The Thule is an Atlantis 1200 ( $410 from LL Bean) and it works with any bar.

Ah perfect, an extra place to keep the bodies

Looks good, though not my thing.

I wouldn't own it either if I didn't ski.

I have the Thule box and the Thule aero bars, the quick fit system it is called, but quick fit it certainly isn't!!

You have to use an allen key to get them on/off, which in itself isn't too bad, but there is nothing there to stop the bolts coming out once the bars are off the car, so storing them is a real pain.

How do the BMW ones attach??

you totally need to hide a missile in there to clear out traffic

The same way.

So what's the point of the ski bag? I'd think a couple pairs of skis would fit in it.

That box look really tall. Looks better when they are thinner.
