I did a 2400mile euro trip to Swiss alps in late September. In my c63 estate with a roof box. Thule said do not exceed 130kph but I went 210kph and chickened out lol. My Thule vector box actually is really good with the aerobars, not much noise until 75mph, I would not notice it when I drive under 70mph. It was so much fun to drive the Furka pass and Susten pass, I would go back in summer days again. Great video as always and loved the unicorn 😂

I’ve a bog standard A6. Bought a box and bars to travel to the UK from Ireland last summer. Did a trial fit and drive and noticed the noise wasn’t comfortable at all. Saw a few videos online and tried them out to see about reducing the noise. 1: Get some cord and wrap it around the front bar. It will disrupt the air. 2: I went to a DIY place and got some pipe insulation large enough to wedge between the roof of the car and the box. Enough for the width of the bars. Kept in place with zip ties. Didn’t completely cut out the noise but really did reduce it. Wasn’t a problem doing 70mph on motorways either. Still got 43mpg for the trip over and back. 2011 A6 C7 2.0TDI.

I always wonder how fast can I go with a roof box, they’re rated at 130 km/h, but I’ve been in a car at 200 km/h with one no problem, but some fall off at 170km/h, when you do over 210 km/h and accelerate flat out in an RS6 then to the already huge air resistance you add the acceleration force. I’ve seen people on the autobahn loosing their roof boxes, don’t encourage this please. That’s a huge risk and insurance may regress any costs to you if something happens depending on their policy

Love my M5, it’s ferocious, refined, discreet and the absolute boss.

@@g9icy The M5 handles really well for a car of its size. It doesn’t feel as point to point sharp as the F82 I had previously but I think that is because it is so much more surefooted and possibly because the added interior plushness hides the pace.
