Trunk length with rear seats folded?
Going to buy a furniture that is 2.3 meter long, not sure if I could fit it into my trunk......
Cannot find the LENGTH of the trunk online anywhere, I guess in this case knowing the trunk volume does not help |

Gotta measure... I wouldn't rely on any stated measurements, if you can even find any. Hard to say what points they measured from etc. Have to measure all directions before you get there and realize it will fit inside the car, but won't fit through the opening to actually get it in there ... 😉

I bet you would have been quicker in getting a tape measure and measuring it than the amount of time it took you to write your post 😜🤦🏻*♂️ just saying 🤷🏻*♂️

While you're waiting for chrisny to reply, I can tell you that the width of the cargo area from the left to the right walls is 44" and the depth from the back of the second row seats (at the floor level) with the seats in the up position (as if someone is sitting in them) to the rear inside door when its down is 40.5".

Doubtful since 2.3 meters is 90.5". I bet the folded rear seats will only give you another 18" of length which together with the 40.5 is 58.5" or 1.5 meters - far short of your needed 2.3

Sure, if you have a gas mask you can wear. I've done it for a short distance in a minivan years ago with a couple of red flags tied to the end of the lumber I was carrying but my guess is your X5 will not let you do it! Try it now and see what happens.

When you say bed, is this just a mattress or an actual bed frame with headboard, footboard etc? Mattress and box spring you could do on the roof if you have the right equipment (roof rack, straps).

I guess that could work too, but I have zero experience on it so might as well just call up a friend who has a q7 or a pickup truck

but my guess is it might stop you from shifting into drive while trunk is open? |

I actually found a tape measure out of nowhere, so I went down to the garage and gave it a try.
Turns out the length from the tail gate to the front passenger seat is about 1.8 meters or 75 inches. A lot longer than I expected tho still not enough I prob just gonna ask a friend or two who has larger vehicles to help |

A friend of mine turns out to have a f150, so I guess do not need to play "mind games" at IKEA with trunk open Thanks for your help! |
