Boxter on top of X5
Tried a bunch of cargo boxes, I felt the Thule Boxter (Excellence, outside of US) was one of the nicer looking.

like it, very stylish. How easy/difficult is it to take things out of it? How about removing altogether?

Very nice and the new one looks more refined.

I just completed a trip to Chicago and back to PA w/o issues with the Atlantis 1600 box and it has more than enough space for 4 adults. Reserved the trunk space for the cooler and stuffs for our 14mo. old boy.

I have not used it yet -- so I cannot comment on the loading/unloading of items (but I suspect it's similar to the cargo boxes that I've used in the past on top of SUVs -- you have to lift the items above your head). As far as installing and removing the box, it's one of the easier units that I've come across, simply tighten four knobs and you are done.

Only problem with something like this is the over head clearance
in hotel parking garages.

Agree...

Also, get it centered ! Looking at your pictures, you have it shifted towards the passenger's side....
