About the BMW 3 Series Touring 2023 boot
The BMW 3 Series Touring gives you a wide estate tailgate, 39 3/8 inches across and 28 3/8 inches tall, with a low loading sill at 23 5/8 inches and almost no drop to the floor (about 3/8 inch), so you slide loads in rather than lift them. With the rear seats up the floor is short at 39 3/8 inches, and it narrows to 37 3/8 inches at the back. Fold the bench and it stretches to 68 7/8 inches, a gain of 29 1/2 inches. It handles long flat boxes well only once folded. Keep the parcel shelf out when the load is tall.
About the BILLY Bookcase, black oak effect, 31 1/2x11x79 1/2 " package
The BILLY bookcase comes as a single long, flat box: 81¼″ × 11¾″ × 5″ and 86 lb 15 oz. It is the length that catches you out, not the weight on its own. That long panel wants a flat floor, which on most cars means folding the rear seats first. The board is rigid and will not flex around a wheel arch or a short boot, so it has to lie straight. An estate, a folded-seat hatchback, or an SUV takes it comfortably. Load it long-edge first, keep it flat, and guard the corners, because a knock at this weight cracks the edge.
