List price was £225 for the box and £22.80 for the codeable lock when I priced them in February.

At the risk of stating the obvious - If you get a second hand one make sure its not broken (plastic catch mechanism)

There are some unscrupulous people about

Don't you mean BMW is unscrupulous for selling a top box that can fly off and pass you down the road. BMW believes there is not a problem with the catch.

My dealer has quoted me £250 for just the box....

They are wrong, as the people who have witnessed mine flying across the road and demolishing all my shopping will testify.
Three top boxes, three broken catches, three near misses from an accident point of view.
at least 2 vanished locks (top box arrives at destination but lock doesn't)


Maybe they can explain to us why in some parts of the world they come bolted on......anyway, don't start me on this. I'm obsessed.

Is that with the mounting plate and the inner bag ?

hmm, maybe the Givi top box aint so bad, even if the mounting bolts have sheared once. BMW always seem reluctant to admit they have any problems which just means things like this go on and on and on instead of getting fixed quickly.
