BA give you 23kgs allowance on long haul, in cattle class. Before I started leaving my scuba gear with friends in Barbados, after packing it I had 8kgs left and still managed enough clothes etc for two weeks.

It's a fundamental law of physics that a woman's requirement expand exponentially with the amount of luggage space available.
BA? How common!

Yeah, my private jet is awaiting some parts, about 350,000 to be honest.

There was your mistake.
It is common knowledge that the 2.0L laser was much better at bottle feeding and changing nappies than the 2.8i

That doesn't make sense in any form.
Well done for staying true to your ethics.

Made complete sense to me. But then I am 'special'.

When the parts arrive remember to call your mechanic to come over

I actually think the E85's boot is pretty decent, especially as overall the car feels much 'slimmer' than the G29!
Unfortunately I don't have an unpacked picture to compare!
We have taken it camping round Europe for a week with - Pop up tent, x2 air beds, x2 sleeping bags (not particularly small ones..) bag for clothes for a week each, walking boots x2
I do think though a lot of my things to pack were squishy, that coolbox and hardshell suitcase's maybe would leave the E85 beat, maybe don't count it out just yet.

74mm difference in width.

That’s a terrible way to describe an E85

Second that; With multiple smaller luggage e85s can easily do longer trips. No tent for us, though, just a credit card, a couple of loyal customer cards for decent hotels and bags to carry shopping.

After the e89, still adjusting to the size of the boot in the G29 which is amazing. I used to be able to either get my golf bag and electric trolley in the boot but no top down or just the trolley and roof down with the golf bag on the passenger seat. Now both easily in the boot and roof down.

Suspect may even be able to get a wife in there if I ever wanted to recycle one and still have the roof down

The boot size of the G29 is a real bonus and that cannot be ignored - However at this point in time £25:30k is a bitter pill to swallow and I don't think i would enjoy the car £25:30k more.

But the only "Special" was a 2.8i.

Find a one like mine and it would have cost you circa £15k
