Width wise - it's wider than the boot, so you get a couple of inches of lip up on either side. That helped protect things when I went to the tip at the weekend (rock-'n'-roll lifestyle revealed).

Folds down pretty small as well if you're not using it permanently. As I said - fits in the cubby under floor with space for other stuff as well.
Cool - thanks Muzzalad. Here's the custom fit one I found - £150!!

Yep, that definitely looks like it's worth £104 more.

That does look lovely.

MattXYZ Please go for that one over my cheapo Amazon number if you're going to have it in the boot the whole time.

I would, if I needed to cover the boot any more than a few times a year.

That looks good ziggys101. Do you have the flap for protecting the bumper as well? We normally take our dog in the X5 in which we have a similar custom cover and a custom fit dog crate. I want to get a boot cover for X3 for the occasional times I may need to take the dog in X3.

I dont but i think it was an option for not much cash, they turned the order around in a week really good customer service.

My only negative is as the material is smooth so bags can slide around in the back., but that also makes it much easier to clean :-)

I do a fair bit of running (sometimes cross country through the mud) and had never thought of this a solution, post run.

That under floor storage is actually pretty much as big as the whole boot/trunk in my old car.
So should be able to cope with this as well as the boot/trunk liner I've folded up in there for trips to the tip/post run dirty kit/picking up Christmas trees.

From pictures i can see you were playing with wipers, service position.
How the tyres are, Pirelli , are they performance type or normal RFT?
I have got Michelin latitude 3, they are superb comfy and quiet comparing to bridgestones on 3 series (probably every tyre will be better than this thing).

I started the process of filing for a return via eBay. We'll see what the seller has to say. Seeing what happened to this just during shipping, I fear what would happen if these things were to come into contact with any sort of road debris...

Oh no...that's really to bad. I'd bet they get a replacement out to you soon, although you'll have to wait all over again! Real bummer.

Certainly will be avoiding any flying road obstacles 😊

I'm not 100% sure I even would want a replacement. I mean it's not like I expected something indestructible for $150...but to see it break like that just during shipping makes me think if I were to just happen to pull too far forward and tap a curb while parking these things would probably just snap off instead of just getting scraped up.

Yes I forgot to put the wipers down before taking the photos!

Tyres are non RFT, they feel great so far.

That is a real bummer! I think it was probably crushed under something heavy during transit, so the shearing force could easily snap the corner off.

I think if rocks or stones hit it while driving they'd be likely to bounce off rather than break it. Get a replacement, they're worth it, especially to match all your gloss black bits.

I ordered the same set lined with red here:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

White as shown:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...1?ie=UTF8&th=1

Also the matching console organizer posted earlier in this thread:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...1?ie=UTF8&th=1

The mat sets do come with an extra mat that apparently is not usable in the 2019 models or at least in mine as the rear center armrest on mine only has cup holders and not a cubby.
