Luggage Rack

[John Wain]

Hi people,
Myself and my friend have just bought a Z3 each as we’re planning on doing the North 500 run later this year. Our wives are concerned about luggage space(!), so we’re both looking for luggage racks.
Can anyone recommend a stylish luggage rack that actually fits??
My Z3 has a small spoiler, so I’m assuming it will have to be a sideways clamped rack?
Thanks in advance
JW

I had one on my Z3 fitted like that, but it was one that is supposed to be for a Mk 1&2 Mx5. Fitted perfectly. I'll have a look for a photo. To be honest we only used it once as we found there was plenty of space.

I have got hold of a spare boot and fitted the rack to it, easy to swap on when needed!

You saying mine doesn’t look professional?

I have the perfect solution for this very predicament and you can even get a set of golf clubs in as well, ..................................................................................................................

I always thought it was for the spare wheel if punctured.

Better photo of the MX5 rack I had, waiting for the ferry at Santander. We had a case on there when we set off to Dover on the outbound journey, but soon decided we didn't need to use the rack.

Was sold to me as an OEM bike rack

To be honest done plenty of trips with luggage for two and not had a problem if you pack well. But 2 options to consider I have both but the 3 piece Z3 luggage is the best, it maximises the boot space/shape.

I ordered one of these from “boot-bag.com” I’m not sure I like the way the vacuum cups look but no drilling, and no hooks to chip the paint. I’ll only use it on long trips. Pricy though.
I like the idea of buying an extra boot lid with a mounted rack too.
