Packasport Cargo Box

Has anyone put a Packasport cargo box on an X5?

I really like the look of the low profile boxes but need to see one on an X before making a decision.

Sorry, not a Packasport. But similar. Thule Atlantis 16 cu. ft. cargo box mounted on Thule Rapid Crossroad Aero bars. Works great! Here's a picture to get an idea how it looks.

Thanks for the response that looks good but not shure if I can fit it in the garage. That is my other option though if the Packasport doesn't work out.

I learned some things in the process of picking out a box. Be sure the tailgate can open fully without hitting the box and it's best for wind noise to sit back from the edge of the windshield as far as possible. Those two considerations really limit the length of the box and narrowed my possibilities since most boxes tended to be too long. I needed a narrow one though to fit my recumbent tandem alongside.

Hmmmm, so what box did you end up with Houston? I'm looking to get a box that will fit 4 pairs of skis so it might end up being fairly long. You're point about making sure it'll miss the hatch/tailgate when open is a good one!
