The permissible load is the total of the weight of 
occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the 
weight of the occupants, the less cargo/lug-
gage can be transported.

>

Position heavy objects as low and as far for-
ward as possible, ideally directly behind the 
respective seat backs.

>

Cover sharp edges and corners.

>

For very heavy cargo when the rear seat is 
not occupied, secure each safety belt in the 
opposite buckle.

>

Smaller and relatively light items can be 
retained with tensioning straps or draw 
straps

.

Heavy-duty cargo straps

 for securing 

larger and heavier objects are available at 
your BMW center. Four lashing eyes are 
provided for attaching the cargo straps. 
Two lashing eyes are located

 on the rear 

panel of the luggage compartment 

1, two 

others are

 on the side panels of the luggage 

compartment 

2. 

Comply with the information supplied with 
the cargo straps.

Always position and secure the cargo as 
described above, so that it cannot endan-

ger the car's occupants, for example if sudden 
braking or swerves are necessary. 
Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle 
weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer 
to page

, as excessive loads can pose a 

safety hazard, and may also place you in viola-
tion of traffic safety laws. 
Heavy or hard objects should not be carried 
loose inside the car, since they could be thrown 
around, for example as a result of heavy braking, 
sudden swerves, etc., and endanger the occu-
pants.

<

A special rack system is available as an option 
for your BMW. Please comply with the precau-
tions included with the installation instructions.
