About the BMW 1 Series 2020 boot
The way into the 1 Series boot is low: 22⅞″ of clear height above the loading sill, through an opening 37⅜″ wide, while the boot itself is 26″ tall from its floor. That makes tall boxes a poor fit. The sill is 27½″ high and the floor sits 3⅛″ below it. With the rear seats up the floor is 29½″ long and 40⅛″ wide at its narrowest, and folding them adds 28″, giving 57½″ for long flat packs. If a long box will not go in lying flat, try it standing on its side: at an angle, it then needs less of the 37⅜″ width.
About the BILLY Bookcase, black oak effect, 31 1/2x11x79 1/2″ package
You get the black oak effect BILLY in a single box, 81¼″ long, 11¾″ wide and 5″ thick. It weighs 86 lb 15 oz, and over that length the weight is hard to control, so plan on two of you, one at each end. Lying straight, it needs 81¼″ of boot floor, though its width and thickness still matter. Lift together on a count, so neither of you takes the full weight, even for a second. Set it down the same way, both ends at once.
