Because I drive a BMW Z, I have found a lot of "Z" Stuff. Let me know about links and products for other roadsters please.

As one travels this great land, we begin to understand more about "stuff". We start out life without any stuff of our own and as the years go by we seem to accumulate more and more stuff. We always want to take an amount of our stuff when we travel. Stuff like shirts, underwear, pants, toothbrushes etc. seem to be important to us and we need this stuff when we are traveling. It seems that roadsters of all makes and models simply have less space in them to put stuff than most other forms of transportation except perhaps the motorcycle and bicycle.

There are a few solutions

1) Trunk Racks

<Click on Photo> Here's a Z4 with the BMW "official" Trunk Lid railing System. The BMW Rack is shown attached to the rails. The rails need to painted to match your Z and then the trunk drilled to fit the rails. This solution is available at your BMW dealer.

 

<Click on Photo> Here is the Rack with the BMW Suitcase installed. You can click on the photo(s) for a better view. This solution is available at your BMW dealer.

 

(NO DRILLING) <Click on Photo> Here's a Z4 with a clamp on rack. The rack clamps on to the left and right sides of the trunk lid. I found this at Roadster Solutions <Click Here>. I found versions of this at www.sportsimportsltd.com <Click Here> and they have add ons such as bike racks etc for sports cars.

 

2) Trunk Racks (Z3)

<Click on Photo> This is the removable clamp on rack for the Z3 (I do not know if it will fit a a Z3 M Roadster. I found this one at Roadster Solutions <Click Here>  I wonder if these will fit the Z3 M ?

 

<Click on Photo> Here's the Z3 "Factory Rack". Drilling is required. I assume that when one takes the rack off that there are hole plugs to cover the drilled holes? Does anyone know?

 

<Click on Photo> Here's the factory rack above with the hard suitcase installed. This is also available at

 

 

3) Trailers (Z3 Only So Far) I have not found a Z4 trailer hitch.

See photos below from Bob Koch (taken at Homecoming). I assume the trailers are from motorcycle dealers?  CLICK ON PHOTOS.
