1. How much they cost you, base support and the box

3. Do you have any interior pictures of the box itself (if you don't mind sharing), just to get an idea of how much of cargo it can take.

Thanks for taking time to share this with the team.
I bought from a dealer off EBay, NIB, $186 plus shipping. (Use search term- X3 F25 Base Support System)

There is virtually no time involved in installing. . Approx 17 inches from front and additional 28 inches for the back. The base supports have a vinyl coated clamp that grab the rails at any length for/ aft. The clamps look like they will not leave any marks on the rails. I previously mounted the Yakima Skybox on a 4Runner and had experience with the tailgate hitting the Skybox. I was cautious when opening the tailgate the first time to make sure there was no unintentional contact made.

I'll take some pictures of Skybox when I get back to CO. (Still making my way back from home BMW Performance Delivery Center)
