Okay, this is going to be a dumb and stupid topic, and is limited to US owners.
Can your shopping cart fit in the trunk?
My standard four-wheel shopping brought from Home Depot, barely, and I mean barely fits in the trunk of my '05 530i.
Now somebody told me that if I have a BMW then I shouldn't be doing my own shopping anyway, or at least tranporting my own groceries; I should have them deliered. That is more in line with the pretige of a BMW owner.
Hah, I don't know about that.
And, if I throw some groceries in the trunk, I'm reallly struggling and forcing the shopping cart into the trunk.
Your thoughts on the shopping cart.

My Ride: 545I and a half dozen other rides
Maybe in the Land Rover, definitely in the truck, but none of my cars including the Road Runner, which I think I can at least put 3.5- 4 full size bodies in.

Love the dead body chart... and I must say I feel a bit pompous when I open my trunk and someone sees the golf bag placement chart... but a shopping cart??? Seriously??? I am not even sure a full sized shopping cart would fit standing upright in my Tahoe! WTF am I missing here?

I totally feel your pain ... I had one heck of a time fitting a John Deere Tractor in the trunk of mine tonight and I have the folding rear seats!
Total disappointment ...
I'm swapping mine for a Ford F150 in the morning!
I've had it with the puny BMW stowage space.

You guys aren't being very helpful now, are you?
Does the OP use a portable shopping car to cover some distance between car and store(s) or car and home? Are there stairs involved? Does the OP like to park far away from everyone else? There are folding shopping carts available that could save some trunk space.
Alternately, a member came up with an ingenious spill-proof and affordable cargo box or boxes for the E60 trunk. You can always ask the grocery bagger to help you transfer your grocery to the cargo box. Of course, one still has the problem of getting the grocery into the house...

All the replies have been very humorous, but here is the kind of shopping cart I was speaking of, it is for groceries.
And, the point is $60K, and I can't fit a small shopping cart in this vehicle for my weekly shopping.
I know, I know, alot of you will post that I should only do my shopping once a month, but still....
