Bmw Z3 M Roadster Mz3 Oem Trunk Luggage Rack Deck Lid Mount on 2040-parts.com
Ephrata, Washington, US
More crazy, sexy, cool stuff from my M Roadster / Z3 days. This is the ultra-hard-to-find OEM "Trunk Lid Rack." Chrome finish rack. The rack must be semi-permanently (!) mounted (means drilling four holes thru pre-marked dimples under the trim-panel) to the rear deck-lid....although it can easily be removed and the holes plugged if you make a crafty trip to the hardware store. This is the usual BMW high grade stuff and my old BMW Accessories catalogue shows the price for the rack as "$400.00" (!) Considered installing this on my BMW M3 convertible's rear deck-lid but decided against it....but the point is, you could put it on just about ANY vehicle and it would look pretty good and work great. Condition of the rack is really good / almost perfect....no dents, rust, pitting or smashed / bent areas. The chrome hole-cover discs that the rack mounts through are near mint also. A few of the various fasteners that secure the rack (all hidden from view by the inside trim-cover if I remember correctly) have some areas of light corrosion...purely cosmetic and in no way compromise the job they are meant to do. Also have a pre-drilled Z3 rear deck lid in decent shape if interested....color I believe is "Atlanta Blue Metallic", but I would want to research it before I made any promises.

Lexus reveals 2013 GS sedan, launches new styling direction
Thu, 18 Aug 2011Lexus on Thursday pulled the wraps off the redesigned 2013 GS sedan, revealing a sharper look that was previewed last spring with the LF-Gh concept car. The 2013 Lexus GS rides on a new rear-drive platform, although the car's wheelbase and exterior dimensions are nearly identical to the current car. Under the hood is a 3.5-liter V6 rated at 306 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque--marginally better than the output of the current Lexus GS 350.
Rolls Royce to set up shop in South America
Sun, 23 Oct 2011Rolls Royce showrooms planned in South America The paradox of the current economic malaise is that luxury goods – and luxury cars in particular - seem immune from the problems of the mainstream. Rolls Royce – to many still the epitome of luxury motoring – is doing very well, and is now planning an expansion in to South America. The cynical may say that Rolls Royce want a piece of the drug money floating round South America in their coffers, but South America is far more than a bunch of drug barons freely spending illicit cash.
Volkswagen E-Bugster
Tue, 24 Jan 2012The Volkswagen E-Bugster concept is a show car preview of the upcoming Beetle cabriolet. The E-Bugster is essentially the same Beetle that debuted at the Shanghai Auto Show last year below its beltline but above it a more steeply raked and shallower windscreen determine its new character. This, in combination with the hard top fitted to the show car creates a silhouette 400mm lower than the standard car, giving it a hint of SoCal speedster.
