Quoted from KingDaddy:I have a 2009 X5 (E70) and I recently picked up a Tee'd Off - and with the legs removed/head folded I only got it partially in... I had to use cargo straps and wasn't able to fully shut the back. Fortunately, I was only going a few miles - but no way would this have worked long distance.
Tee'd Off is a Gottlieb "Tank" - big machine to say the least... Wondering if anyone knows if Williams/Bally late 80's-90's machines will fit in my car better?
Thanks
Hmmm, that's interesting. I've had several X5's over the years, with a 2013 at the moment, and I think the only game I've hauled where I've had a headroom problem is Stargate. That head didn't have to come off, but I had to unscrew it and slide it forward a bit. Every other game has fit without an issue, including Sterns. The Gottliebs must be higher?
Also, just a note, the tailgate "will" take the weight of a pin. I move them by myself all the time and leverage the whole machine on the tailgate as I lower it down. Never had an issue on any of the models.
