All BMWs have a smaller boot than their FWD peers as being RWD they have more gubbins back there

The S-Max is the only MPV that I find vaguely acceptable, vaguely

I’ve not found the boot in my 3 series a hinderence coming out of a mk2 Octavia estate and a mondeo st before that. Got a roof box for holidays and decided that for 9k, our low mileage loaded 330i basically pissed all over most newer stuff in that price range in terms of build and drive. Honestly, you really don’t notice the marginally smaller boot but with two kids seats in the back you can’t get anyone else inbetween them. Also falls somewhat short of the ops mpg need. By quite a lot!

Pre F30 3 series were a bit tight in the back.
F30 3series is big enough to make a 5 series redundant!

My e46 330i is a bit short on space, but it does 2 adults and 2 kids very comfortably.

Depends what you used to put in the marginally bigger boot you had before 😉

Citroen C4 Grand Picasso VTR

Passat estate boot, before even dropping the seats.

As an aside, I’m thinking of getting one of these liners – looks well made. £84 sheets

^wheres that boot liner from?

Jeez, do you not have eyes? I sussed it out with my super sleuthing skills of reading the label 😉
