Will IVAR Shelving unit, pine, 89x50x179 cm fit in a BMW X3 2022?

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.

The IVAR shelving unit ships in three slim cartons, the largest 179 cm long, 9 cm wide and only 5 cm thick. At 7.3 kg combined this is a light load, but the 1.79 m length is what dictates the car. A hatchback with the rear bench folded, an estate, or anything with a long load bay will take it. Even a small car can manage if you slide the front passenger seat forward and rest the bundle along the diagonal. Load the boxes flat together as one stack, and tape the bundle to stop them fanning out.
