Traveling long distances with your Mercedes-AMG car has just become easier thanks to the introduction of the roof box, tested by AMG engineers to ensure optimum values in terms of aerodynamics, handling and noise emission.
Buyers can purchase the roof box, which has a capacity of 410 liters (14.5 cu.ft), starting this year in November at Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG partners.
The lid of the box boasts a dynamic design and is painted comet-grey magno with lateral decoration lines, while a shiny black element, including a fin, is embedded on the top. Additionally, the handles (integrated into the lid design) help reduce air resistance.

The Mercedes-AMG roof box actually comes in two versions, the second being developed specifically for Mercedes coupe vehicles. It features a different diffuser shape, adapted to the sporty design of a coupe model.
The German carmaker stresses that the roof box is suitable for everyday use, thanks in part to its durable and hard-wearing plastic which can easily withstand any weather condition. The box can actually be mounted on all Mercedes cars with base-railing carriers, using the quick-release clamping system – although since it’s AMG-branded, fitting it onto some entry level diesel-powered C-Class Wagon might be a bit over the top. An E 63 on the other hand will definitely “do”.
You can also open it from both sides, making loading “easy and balanced,” and fill it with up to 70 kg’s (154 lbs) worth of gear. The box itself weighs 26 kg (57 lbs).
The Mercedes-AMG roof box is approved to the legal speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph).
There are plenty of different specifications to consider for the all-new 2021 BMW 4-Series Coupe, all of which may or may not help distract you from the most polarizing aspect of the car, the large vertical double kidney grille.
Now, if the standard spec isn’t sporty enough for you and the M Sport package still feels too “stock”, rest assured BMW has you covered.
The German carmaker is making an extensive selection of M Performance parts available to new 4-Series Coupe buyers from launch, which means there’s probably a configuration out there that suits everyone.

If you opt for the M Performance parts, you get some of that BMW motorsport expertise with the addition of a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, intake surrounds, branded decals, carbon fiber mirror covers, boot lid spoiler and side skirts. Other standout features include the black multi Y-spoke wheels, large red brake calipers and Pirelli P zero rubber.
Inside, there’s the M Performance steering wheel with the carbon fiber center hub, a red 12 o’clock stripe, carbon fiber shift paddles (with matching red + and – signs) as well as more M Performance badging throughout.
The model showcased here is the M440i xDrive, powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six, sending down 369 HP (374 PS) with the help of an eight-speed automatic gearbox. It also has an 11 HP mild-hybrid 48V starter-generator system. BMW claims that the M440i xDrive can rocket to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 4.7 seconds – less than half a second off the pace of the original M4 Coupe.
Which looks more sporty – the new or the old 4 Series with M Performance Parts?
Speaking of the first-gen 4-Series, here’s a quick reminder of what it looks like wearing its own genuine M Performance parts. While its styling may not be as modern or bold as that of the new 4er, the custom bits do fit its angular design quite well.
We’ll let you decide which of the two designs works better when it comes to adding on pricey and lightweight bits to your 4-Series Coupe.
