About the BMW X3 2022 boot
The X3's boot is a wide, flat loading bay. The opening measures 112 cm across by 79 cm tall, and the floor keeps 110 cm at its narrowest, so wide cartons that snag in smaller SUVs pass through here. Depth is the trade-off: 95 cm of floor with the seats up, 178 cm folded, a gain of +83 cm. The sill sits at 70 cm with no drop to the floor behind it, so a heavy box slides in level instead of being lowered over a lip. Long flat-packs need the bench down; seats up, this is a squarish bay for shorter boxes. Push heavy loads across the sill rather than lifting them over it.
About the BILLY Bookcase, white, 40x28x202 cm package
The narrow BILLY ships as one flat-pack box, 207 cm long, 39 cm wide and just 6 cm thick. The length is what limits you: 2.07 metres clears most estate boots with seats folded and many SUVs, but a typical hatchback opening will not let it through diagonally. At 24.3 kg one strong adult can manage the lift. Slide it in through the boot first, narrow edge leading, and keep the panel flat on the floor. Protect the bottom corner with cardboard, the white laminate marks easily on rough boot lips.
