Just done a switch from an F31 to E61 and there really isn’t much of a difference that makes it noticeable enough

Re: F31 D3 BiTurbo #214
When i've looked at the specs previously the width and height difference appear negligible to be honest, and the length is approx 20cm less on the F31 IIRC.
In fact here it is, just found the notes i made!
Could do with a size bigger than E61 some days though
E61: F31:
Wheelbase : 288.6 cm 281cm -7.6cm
Length :484.3 cm 462.4cm -21.9cm
Width : 184.6 cm 181.1cm -3.5cm
Height : 149.1 cm 42.9cm -6.2cm
Trunk / Boot capacity : 500 L 495 L -5 L

I didn’t know they were that close! Backs up the nelgigiable difference, most of the extra length is in the engine bay really- interior is identical. I was in the boot of the 550 the other day removing the tints and thought that the height of the boot wasn’t great but it does have a pano roof which eats into the head space. It was definitely better in the F31.Marc 76 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 11:58 pmWhen i've looked at the specs previously the width and height difference appear negligible to be honest, and the length is approx 20cm less on the F31 IIRC.
