Project: 2014 328i xDrive Wagon F31

I think a Yakima Skybox 21 fits your requirements. Roof boxes are damn expensive, but worth every penny for vacations with family. The moment you have everything you need and can still see out of the back window is priceless. 

That sounds like a great idea! A few minutes after passing on the other box and posting the contact info for RJ, I took another shot at the CL and got lucky! Someone had just listed a Skybox 16 for about what I would have had in the BMW box after selling the rails. The 21 was a bit big for me and I'm hoping to get away without the 92" length of the 18 and I'm taking a shot on the 16. My skis should just fit, they say max is 180, I think mine are 182ish, so might have to diagonal them or something.

She's getting dirty (and the box could use a cleaning too) but I like the box!    Hard to tell how much extra wind noise there will be on a normal day, but it wasn't bad at all even with the windy day. It's pretty light and we had it on the car in just a few minutes which included adjusting for my rail spread. I'll probably make some minor adjustments but hatch opens fine as is. It will take all of 2 minutes to put on / off now.







-RJ, I let the guy with the BMW box know I wasn't interested anymore so I know he still has it.
