    Roof Racks and Cargo Boxes

    I've looked through threads on this but there isn't anything recent, nor is there a all-encompassing thread on roof stuff for our cars.

    With the Genuine BMW touring crossbars NLA, I'd like to know what other folks are using instead. Thule? Yakima? Ebay? I think the low profile stuff is coolest - they eliminate the large gap between the roof and whatever's on top.

    And who's got a cargo box for their touring? I'd love to see them. I've already got a Yakima Space Cadet for my FiST (see below), but I'll probably want to get something a bit sleeker for the E39.

    Otherwise, what other random stuff have you carried on your roof? Let's see it!

    The biggest thing we've carried thus far is a full size box spring:
