Hi all.

I have a 2014 F31 M-Sport in Alpine White and I'm looking to get a roofbox for travelling around. I currently have Thule Wingbars with Thule foot packs.

The main purpose would be to move the bulkier items (especially golf clubs in a stand bag) out of the boot, and onto the roof.

I think i've narrowed my search down to two possible candidates, but I was wondering if anyone on the forums has experience with either.

The two are:

Thule Dynamic L 800
Yakima Skybox 16 Carbonite

Heights are 34cm for the Thule and 40cm for the Yakima.

Does anyone have the Thule (in particular) and access to a golf stand bag that could possible test for me? (or vice versa... a golf bag with access to a Thule Dynamic L 800).

Pics attached.

Comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Feng

Not sure if this helps but a thread over here on roof box/rails

Thanks SDH. Had a quick look and see that someone there has the Dynamic 800. Just need a golf bag

might flick them a PM.

I have a Thule Dynamic 900, I have no problem to fit a stand bag or even two.

But those bags probably come in slightly different sizes, also I dont know the difference between the Dynamic 800 and 900.

Thanks for the reply. Main difference is length. Only 1cm height difference.

Could I trouble you to post a pic of yours mounted? I'm interested in the front overhang. Also, is there much clearance once you put the bags in?

Thanks a bunch

I know you've narrowed it to two but did you consider the Hapro Zenith? Fitted my E91 nicely (and now the X5), tons of room for two golf bags.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure we can get those in AU though

Checked my phone for a side shot of the car with the roof box mounted, but not a single one.

This was the closest I found, and also remember my car is a F11 (5 Series Touring).

ahhh awesome! that's what i was looking for... proportion of the Dynamic 800 against a F31 would be about the same as a Dynamic 900 against a F11.

Thanks!

That being said, I have to get my car fixed now just had an accident... so roofbox is on hold for a bit...
