55inch Tv without folding backseats

Lol, rent a uhaul

I believe so. Might need to remove the stand though.

What stand?

The feet that hold the tv upright if it’s sitting somewhere?

Yup that is removed, but the TV is in a box.

Might need to take it out of the box. Hard to know without the specific dimensions of the tv you have. Or just fold the back seats. That’s the easiest way.

I fit a 65” with the seats down in the trunk.

But I have two more check in bags with me. If I fold the seats down, would I have space for the two bags and a Tv?

Put the bags in the passenger seat and fold down the seats.

Well the front two seats will be occupied. I don’t assume you can accommodate two bags and a TV after folding the seats then.

Depends on the size of the bags. Passenger can put one in the footwell and hold the other.

Only one way to find out. Don’t forget you also have a frunk (unsure about size of the bags)

I'd measure out and give few spare inches.

some TV's are supposed to be transported upright only. The display panel might be too fragile against bumps and potholes if it is laid flat.

That gets old really fast... we drove to a lan party in the late 90's and one guy had to sit in the back with a CRT monitor in his lap. It wasn't even a long ride but he was done :D

Technically true. But the risk is pretty low. Especially if you put padding underneath it.

You got a new boxed 65" TV in your M3 and was able to close the trunk. I just bought a 65 in TV and try to get it in my 2024 M3. It wouldn't get past the opening behind the seats after I lowered them.
