Storage Space in Cubic Feet?
Anyone know the actual storage space in cubic feet for the X5? The BMW manual says 21.9 and 61.8 cubic feet, but Motor Trend and Car and Driver show 75.2 and 35.8 cubic feet. Additionally, the loading test used by Car and Driver (number of beer cases) would suggest that the X5 compared to others like the ML is in fact closer to the cubic feet in the magazines rather than what BMW publishes in their manual. Here's the results from a recent Car and Driver comparison test:
SUV/Cases of Beer behind second row/ cases of beer behind front row seats
ML350/20/45
Acura MDX/23/41
Touareg/18/39
X5 /22/48
All of these other SUV's publish a higher storage capacity, yet the number of cases would suggest otherwise.
Can anyone shed light on this???
