530e trunk dimensions? (Solved)
So I'm waiting to take delivery of my 530e, probably by mid september. It would be interesting, to assess my future logistical challenges, to learn the major trunk dimensions of the 530e.
Has anyone done some measuring similar to what this user did on a standard G30? https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1480770 It would be nice to see some numbers! Last edited by larsp12; 08-15-2019 at 03:39 AM.. Reason: "Solution" provided |

530e trunk is same, only 10 cm less height all around.
When you have the floor down, this deeper pocket has the same height as the original trunk. First pic is the floor up and the second is down. You can hide stuff under there when you have the floor cover up. |

I understand the 530e has its fans but color me unconvinced about the added complexity and weight of this model in exchange for a mere 16-20 miles of pure EV charge. The 530i is much lighter, handles better, less complex and has amazing fuel economy... 36MPG highway and 27MPG combined. The most efficient large size sedan currently on sale in North America.

I agree with SteveinArizona.
I test drove both the 530i and 530e and did not notice a significant difference in handling or performance. When I factored in the very generous government rebate available at the time on the 530e (making it less than the 530i) and the green plates allowing me to drive in HOV lanes alone, it was an easy decision. But then different people have different perspectives. |

I will provide some resolution to my own thread here, perhaps it can be useful for somebody in the future.
So I made some quick measurements on a colleagues 530e. Attached are the major dimensions(roughly) of it's cross section. Width wise it's the same as the standard G30, so the dimensions linked in the original post applies for the 530e also. Dimensions in cm's. (The sketch is not entirely at scale) Last edited by larsp12; 08-15-2019 at 03:50 AM.. |

I can fit 4 size 22 CARRYON TravelPro bags, back pack and 3 or 4 smaller carryon handle bags in the trunk of the 530i without having to open the rear seat backs or anything else for that matter.
