The same principle holds for the 7-series,5-series,3-series and 1-series.

If you want to see how big it is, look at an E70. While it might be bigger by an inch here or there, this is an updated E70. Google "X5 rear cargo 2011" and "X5 rear cargo 2014" to see images that show how similar they are, to the point where it appears that many trim pieces could be swapped:
A few examples, along with some attached images:

It's not going to be surprising if lots of other parts are the same. There are certainly new and improved bits all over the car, but it's not as "new" as it might at first seem. I'd like one, and I could probably use my E70 floor and cargo mats!
