About the BMW 1 Series 2020 boot
The 1 Series boot is short and low rather than deep. With the seats up the floor gives you 29½″, which is the constraint on most flat-pack runs, and the opening measures 37⅜″ wide by 26″ tall. Fold the rear bench and the floor almost doubles to 57½″, a gain of 28″. The floor is 40⅛″ across at its narrowest, so width is rarely your problem. The sill sits at 27½″ with a 3⅛″ drop, which makes this one of the easier hatchbacks to load. Fold the seats first, load long, then fill the gaps.
About the KALLAX Shelf unit, white, 43 7/8x57 5/8 " package
The KALLAX shelf unit arrives as two packages, and the larger one measures 56½″ long, 16″ wide and 5″ thick. That length is what decides the car. The whole order weighs 95 lb 3 oz, so it is a two-person lift even though the boxes look thin. Flat-pack board has no give, so you cannot bend it around a wheel arch or a seat back. An estate or an SUV with the rear bench down handles it comfortably. Load the long box first, on its edge and angled towards the far corner, then slide the second one alongside.
