The factory supplied a black rack with my car April 2013 build
I was at the factory in May 2013 on my 3 Wheel Drive day and enquired about supplying a black rack when chasing up the build date for my M3W. The person I spoke to in the office asked around if it was possible and the answer was a definite No. All very strange (but typical I guess) if RogG was supplied a black rack in April....
Everything is Marvelous and Lovely now, apart from the weather!. You can see terrible flooding near the factory.
I think there is a supply issue with stainless racks just now. Maybe they listened to requests for black ones and acted? They didn't have one there when my car went in.
I have to say that anyone I met at the factory was helpful. Mark Evans is a very busy but helpful man who has listened to our concerns.
I have the new Centra Drive compensator thingy. What a difference but then mine was very poorly.

At the recent open day at Oakmere , chatting with the M3W service engineer about getting parts blackened he recommended a local firm who specialises in this :
I am considering getting my heat shields power coated ( so I dont have to keep polishing them ! ) . I have not contacted them yet , so no opinion on service.
