Securing cargo

> For small, light items, use the rubber-

lined, non-skid side of the floor mat

or secure using the luggage compart-

ment net* or elastic straps, refer to

page 37

> For large, heavy pieces, see your

BMW center for load-securing

devices*. Achorages located in the

luggage compartment can be used

for fastening the load-securing

devices; see arrow.

Comply with the information enclosed

with the load-securing devices.

Roof-mounted luggage rack*

A special roof-rack system is available

as an optional extra for your BMW.

Please observe the precautions

included with the installation instruc-

tions.

Anchorages

Access to the anchorages:

To fold up the cover – see arrow –

please use the tool provided with the

roof-rack system.

Loading and driving notes

Roof-mounted luggage racks raise the

center of gravity of the vehicle when

they are loaded. For this reason, they

have a major effect on the vehicle's

handling and steering response.

You should therefore always remember

not to exceed the approved roof load

capacity, the approved gross vehicle

weight or the axle loads when loading

the rack. These weights are listed under

Technical data on page 148.

Make sure that the load is not too bulky,

and attempt to distribute it evenly.

Always load the heaviest pieces first so

that they are at the bottom. Be sure that

adequate clearance is maintained for

raising the sliding/tilt sunroof, and that

objects do not project into the opening

path of the luggage compartment lid.

Secure the roof-mounted luggage cor-

rectly and safely to prevent it from shift-

ing or being lost during driving.

Drive smoothly and avoid sudden

acceleration and braking. Do not corner

at high speeds.

The luggage rack and the roof load

increase aerodynamic resistance:

increased fuel consumption and addi-

tional stress on the vehicle's body are

the result.
