I think your simplest solution is to:
A) ditch the cart
then
start using reusable shopping bags
then
C) go grocery shopping more often so you don't need to buy so many groceries to need the cart.
You then save the planet by lessening paper/plastic waste, get some physical activity by carrying your bags, and ultimately saving yourself the trouble of asking how to fit a shopping cart in your trunk. Plus you can still return the cart for a refund at Home Depot, or worse case get store credit if you don't have your receipt or past the 90 day return period.

What if one lives in a high-rise apartment on the 21th floor and parks the vehicle in a multi-level enclosed garage? One still has to traverse the garage floor to the elevator, onto the elevator and into the apartment? How is using reusable grocery bags and organizer units going help?

Funny you should mention that, for I live on the 33rd floor and park in a multi-level enclosed garage which is a block or two away, and have to traverse so.

How about folded up and standing up behind the drivers seat OR folded up laying across the rear seat hump.

And risk damaging the leather while driving; that would be disasterous.
Damage the leather 'cause we can't get a standard shopping cart into the trunk!!
Guess BMW didn't think that we'd need to go grocery shopping once we brought their vehicles!!

This isn't a failing of the BMW design, it's the failing of someone that buys a cart that doesn't fit in their car.
The ones they have in europe would fit. I googled "granny trolley" to find this image:
