You may have to move the front seats forward, and your head may hang over the back headrest, but if you stuff a pillow in there you could do it. Make sure you're not 5'9"!!

P.S. It's not comfortable..Ask me how I know

Thanks! and btw how do you know? Have you done it yourself? ***x1f604;

 

5'10" absolute max with no shoes on. Sleeping diagonally of course. I'd recommend using a neck pillow instead of a regular pillow as your head is basically in the corner so not much room for a normal pillow.

 

Dang.. thanks for the comment. I***8217;d feel weird visiting a bmw dealership and lay myself down in the back of an X3 so that***8217;s why im asking here instead. It sounds like i can sleep in there one or two nights but i guess not for longer..

 

Why not just lean back in the passenger seat?

 

If you can find some sort of padding, like maybe a camping sleep pad, it's quite comfortable back there. You've got a bit of room to roll around in and the recline is much less than the front passenger seat. Plus, your legs don't dangle. I also find the seats nearly as hard as lying in the trunk, so a sleep pad would make the trunk far more comfortable than the seat.

FWIW, I found the OEM cargo mat to be quite squishy, so you don't necessarily have to remove it when you sleep back there as well. Unless it's an infant or maybe a toddler at most, it's strictly a one person deal though.

The oddest thing was I couldn't get the trunk to close with my remote. I had to hold the button on the door, which was quite an awkward stretch for me. Did I do something wrong? I've only got about 200 miles of seat time in the car so it's all still really new to me.

 

Hi guys, I'm thinking about getting an X3 for daily as well as for road trips so i can sleep in the back with rear seat folded down. Do you think i can lay down flat without being diagonal? I'm 5'8..

Thanks!

Gotta ask - is this you, or you+1

LMAO

 

Thank you for doing that Lambo ***x1f642;.
And it***8217;s just for me, one person sleeping. Didn***8217;t think two would fit unless X5..
