About the BMW X3 2022 boot

The X3 gives you a wide, level cargo bay. The hatch opens 44⅛ inches across and 31⅛ inches tall, and the floor holds 43¼ inches at its narrowest, so wide boxes that snag in smaller SUVs slide through here. Length is the catch: 37⅜ inches behind the seats, 70⅛ inches once they fold, a gain of +32⅝ inches. The floor sits level with the 27½ inch liftover, no drop on the far side, so a heavy carton pushes straight in. Save long flat-packs for seats-down trips; upright, the bay favors short, wide, stackable boxes. Slide heavy loads in across the sill and spare your back.

About the BILLY Bookcase, white, 31 1/2x11x79 1/2 " package

The BILLY ships as one long, flat carton, 81¼″ × 11¾″ × 5″, and it is heavier than it looks at 88 lb 1 oz. The shape is the awkward part: long and only 5″ thick, a rigid panel box that will not bend or fold around a wheel arch. That length rules out most boots with the seats up. You want an estate, a hatchback with the rear seats folded, or an SUV that gives a flat run past the front seats. Two people make this easy. Carry it on edge, slide it in low, and rest the leading edge on something soft.
