How much luggage in an M coupe?

Radiation Joe · 01-29-2009, 07:42 PM

Hi folks. First post here in the cool car area.

I'm thinking about renting the TCKline Carbon Coupe for a week in March. I'll have my girlfriend with me and a week's worth of junk. How tight is it for storage? Examples? Experiences?

Thanks,
Joe

Less than a golf bag. You guys would have to pack very light.

I may get a medal here but I've fit in my coupe:

- (1) Yorkshire Terrier
- (5) completely full large black trash bags full of laundry (clothes and towels)
- (1) carry-on suitcase

and obviously myself all in my car hahhaha. The suitcase and 3 trash bags in the hatch and my dog and other two trash bags in the cabin.

yeh it looks small compared to other cars but its still way more space then you need.

4 Winter tires (front and back) Barely enough room to shift...but I made it work.

If you don't close the back with the cover, there is A LOT of room back there.....5.11 bag, another carry on bag, three coats with room to spare!

Nikki... you, yourself don't take up much space either...

In the trunk I put 2 Hockey bags, and 2 overnight bags for a tournament out of town. 5 sticks went beside the passenger up and over to the trunk.

Another time I put 4 18" M6 reps in the back.

I believe the z4 coupe has more space than the m coupe in the trunk. I am not sure if the carbon coupe uses a smaller batter and frees up some space but I think it is tight...especially if you want to see out of the rear glass. It would be fun no matter how cramped none the less.
