Because of the way the e89 roof is stored in the boot you cannot access the bags or remove them with the roof down, but that’s hardly an issue as most people raise the roof when parking at the hotel anyways :)

I’d be interested in knowing what you have to pay for a new set if that’s not being too cheeky ?

From memory I only paid about £140 in 2013. The £ had some value against the € in those days!

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

I think it was around £177 all told (from memory!)

I have just managed to order some within the last 10 minutes. Tried last night but the website wouldn’t let me order. Anyway I think I have now managed. Paid 199 Euro’s with free postage. There is a company advertising on EBay and charging £249 but they are currently out of stock. So fingers crossed they come quickly. We are hoping to book a few days in the Cotswolds next week while the weather is good for a bit of ‘top down’ motoring.

I think I have just posted to myself so I will try again. Apologies if it appears twice. I have just managed to order some luggage in the last 10 minutes or so. Paid 199 Euros including postage. Not sure what the exchange rate is at the moment. Hoping they will come quickly as we are planning a few days in the Cotswolds next week.

At £249 you should be glad they are out of stock!!!!

Have you ordered from Koffer.DE ?

Don't be alarmed when they arrive and at first there appears only two cases.

I hope they arrive in time for your trip - when I bought mine i was about to travel to Germany in about two weeks!

Yes I did. The website wasn’t the easiest to use but I managed in the end. If they don’t arrive in time for this trip it’s not the end of the world. Thanks for all the info..

Can’t wait for mine to be delivered - not sure how long it will take. Not much communication from the company to be honest.

Hi
Have you had your suitcases delivered? Apart from acknowledging the order and taking payment I have heard nothing. Nor have I been able to contact the company either.

Regards

Nothing yet :( I contacted them this afternoon via contact us on their website. If they don’t respond I’ll call them in a day or so. Communication certainly could be better!!

I tried e-mailing them the other day but the message bounced back. Like you I have used the website contact tonight. I must confess to feeling a bit uneasy. If I have any news I will let you know.
