I'm sorry if this has been asked ad nauseam but my Googling results in endless threads about older pins and NIB Sterns but can't seem to find the info for unboxed, folded modern Sterns. As if no one buys them this way? Jackpot points for confirming it fits in a 2009 BMW X5 I've seen the Wiki but want to be super sure before I make a 24 hour round trip.

I have a 2013 X5 and the only game I had trouble fitting was a Freddy as the vertical folded height meant I had to literally jam it in the back (and gouge the headliner). Stern games fit no problem. Classic Stern/Bally also no problem. System 11 also no problem.

I recommend cutting a couple of 3' pieces of 1.5" PVC tubing to use as rollers sliding the game in and out. Just make sure you brace it fore and aft or it'll slam around the back of your X5.

You cruise the loop in the X5?

I use cardboard instead. Easier to manage and takes up less space.

Its not necessarily a “Modern” Stern but my late run South Park 1999 made by Stern is about 30.25” at the folded high point and 25.25” at the folded low point.
