Sorry if this has been done before but I have a choice of company cars to make. Business first of course!! but need a car that will take the clubs and trolley at weekends.
Like the look of a BMW 3 series tourer but I am not sure the sticks will fit. Does anyone have a Tourer and can you offer your thoughts.
Regards

Hi Gary,

I've got a BMW 3 series saloon (320 si) and the boot is rubbish.  I have to take the woods out of the bag otherwise it won't fit (I lay the woods diagonally across the boot) and I haven't bought an electric trolley because of the hassle of getting it plus the clubs easily in the boot.

The Tourer is obviously better because you haven't got the boot lid reducing the available space but it'll still be the same width. Nice car to drive though...

Hi Pete
Thanks for taking time to reply.
The boot on the saloon actually looks a bit wider than the Tourer when I have looked in the garage
so I'm thinking the Saloon boot maybe the best of a bad option.

Regards

Hi Gary,
This may sound obvious but i went to a main dealer of the car make i wanted then picked the most practical model for the social side as well as work. its best to make sure it all fits... I have a Saab and they have a good boot size...

Hi Jane

That would be the sensible option sadly I was left to my own devices:-)
I checked out my friends car in the end and it looks I'll be ok with the saloon......just!

I always thought Saab looked a great car unfortunately it wasn't on my list of choices.
Thanks for replying.
