Sounds like you want every model they sell to be perfect for you. Um, they do sell a lot of other vehicles with plenty of room for strollers. Did you buy this car site unseen???

i can fit all of my bags in my M550i. Do you have the spare tire kit? You can easily take out to reclaim space. I'll even buy it from you.

Our City Jogger Mini GT fits just fine in my 530e trunk. Thought like you, we mostly use the SUV when going out with the family.

As stated in the OP, this car wasn't meant to take the whole family out. We have an SUV for that. Just an observation that a pretty typical stroller size nowadays doesn't fit in this trunk. This one does not have a spare tire kit. Sometimes I wished BMW would spend a little bit more on "useful" things on their car vs a pretty useless hologram light underneath the door.

That said, my golf clubs fitted OK in the F10, less so in the G30... but I can fit more suitcases, weird
Didn't actually think to try removing the handle. Thanks for that will try it later today.

Sorry, I was a little harsh on my reply.

As someone else stated, Baby Jogger City Mini GT stroller fits perfectly.
And it still has enough space to fit a 14 inch kids bicycle and kick scooter!
