    All,

    In the coming years I am planning to have a F355 as a travel through Europe, ideally six to eight months a year, and moving from location to location every month or so during that time as a I see the local sites.

    Ideally I'll be doing this for many years to come.

    Considering, what I've been told at least, is the rather limited luggage space within the 'frunk' of the F355,
    what have people found is the ideal luggage that will hold a reasonable amount, and slot nicely into that space.

    No doubt I'll be throwing a duffle and boots etc into the passenger side foot well too.

    Ideas and suggestions please.....and yes, one thought I've had is to simply have the hotel ship a bag or two from them to the next hotel in the line-up ( in itself maybe the best way to achieve this ).

    You can get more in and out of the car in soft duffle bags than anything else.

    The frunk is actually quite large, but the shape gives some limits on luggage. You can fit quite a bit in there, though. Duffels will make the easiest use of the space but if you get creative you can fit actual luggage in there. I don't know if this is still available but made the most effective use of the space while providing actual suitcases:

    Ah yes, I remember seeing those a while ago....I figure if need be, I can measure the space and have custom luggage made.

    Soft luggage works well, with maybe something specific for suits so they are not crushed.

    I toured Italy for several weeks in my 355, with a passenger. There was plenty of room for our luggage, which consisted of soft bags rather than hard cases. I would buy a few decent duffel bags that can be used anywhere rather than spending hundreds on custom-fitted luggage that only makes sense in your 355.

    Remember, there is also room behind the seats (we filled this space with wine for the journey home)
