-You lose an inch or two of vertical with sliding floor*
- The sliding floor is as heavy as a mo-fo..when you need to lift it up or out for battery service, spare tire, access to electronics
*I share a 20 gallon air compressor (horizontal tank on wheels) with a buddy to blow out sprinklers. It fits in the X5 without sliding rear and does not fit in the x5 with the sliding rear.

I copy that too, I was able to fit a range(stove here in Canada) into the trunk with no slider and I couldn't do that with it installed. I brought a standing freezer in the trunk with a slider installed,had no choice at that moment, and dented the headliner,while the same freezer fits alright with no slider....an inch is a lot of room taken away with a dubious benefit of maybe once in a while using sliding floor.
