Hopefully they'll correct this, it's a misleading information.
In this light my guess was rather off the scale...

Seem strange that they get it that wrong. Just checked the German site and the 5-series sedan has a loading capacity of 520 litres (as per VDA standard) which is about 18 cubic feet. The number in America seems to be 14 cubic feet for the 5-series sedan. Different measurement standards and very inconsistent...

Edit: Can't find any consistency = error. Great spotting Alwing!
