@Richard Wood / regarding the black rack: my dealer organized what he said was "the last black rack supplied by the factory", due to quality assurance issues. Nevertheless I had to wait one year to get it delivered (rack ordered at the beginning of 2014, rack delivered july 2015)
Thanks Karl, that confirms what I learnt from the factory. I now have a standard stainless one on order to be fitted by my dealer, and will arrange for it to be black powder coated first.
