To be as clear as possible for you - with a spear installed, the X3's cargo-area floor is raised 3-4 inches above the load lift. The raised floor is flat. The cargo area cover, which sits above the raised floor, is at the same height with or without the spear.

Guys, Thanks a lot for the feedback and information . The dealer had told me there was no elevation, he was incorrect. After waiting for more than two months for my built, we decline to accept it. I couldn't live with the limited cargo space...

Don't tell us that you believed the dealer over the always-more-knowledgeable members here?! Dealers are dopes. We're your friends.

These are the same people who walk around with tablets, reading stuff to tell their customers. Are you surprised they don't know any better?! Google and forums like this are way more reliable than the dealership employees. (except for the technicians, most of them are knowledgeable)
