No experience personally but friends who have used www.roofbox.co.uk say good things about them.

I've used www.roofbox.co.uk before when I was in the market for some snow chains. They were very good, very helpful.

I've used Carracks in the past, they also have an eBay site, worth checking out because prices do differ between the sites.

+1

I got a great deal from them for some Thule wingbar's and a KAMEI Delphin 470 box. I highly recommend the box BTW. They also threw in a ceiling mounter and a couple of box securing straps for free

I have a The Kamei Husky L 330 Litre from roofbox.co.uk also got the fasteners to go onto the aero bars supplied by BMW. I managed to blag the bars as part of the deal with the car. The Roofbox is perfect for us. There is myself wife and two kids. I managed to get all the clothes in the roofbox for a weeks holiday in Devon leaving the boot for the kids toys and bikes.

eBay mate, I got one for £200, the 650 litre bmw one. The roof rails are approx £150 min as well.

I am up in Newcastle, you can use them if you were close for a rental fee!

Another recommendation for www.roofbox.co.uk I used them for a set of Whispbars for the E60 and spoke to them on the phone before making the purchase. Very helpful and they will endeavour to answer all your questions. The only issue that I have now is that if I change to a F30 I would need to get new bars as I don't see Whispbar doing a mounting kit for the F30

Have used these guys myself in the past - in Welwyn Garden City and they will fit and remove roof bars/box for you.
