2.
Determine the combined weight of the 
driver and passengers that will be riding in 
your vehicle.
3.
Subtract the combined weight of the driver 
and passengers from XXX lbs. or YYY kg.
4.
The resulting figure equals the available 
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the XXX amount equals 
800 lbs. and there will be four 150-lb. pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail-
able cargo and luggage load capacity is 
200 lbs.:
800 lbs.  minus  600 lbs.  =  200 lbs.
5.
Determine the combined weight of luggage 
and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That 
weight may not safely exceed the available 
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated 
in step 4.
6.
If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, part of 
the load from your trailer will be transferred 
to your vehicle. Consult the manual for 
transporting a trailer to determine how this 
may reduce the available cargo and luggage 
load capacity of your vehicle.
Load
The permissible load is the total of the weight of 
occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the 
weight of occupants, the less cargo/luggage 
can be transported.
Stowing cargo
>
Load heavy cargo as far forward and as low 
as possible, placing it directly behind the 
bulkhead behind the rear seats.
>
Cover sharp edges and corners.
Securing cargo
>
Use the luggage net
*
 or securing straps to 
hold down small and lightweight luggage 
and cargo.
>
Heavy-duty cargo straps
*
 for securing 
larger and heavier objects are available at 
your BMW center. Four lashing eyes 
mounted in the luggage compartment are 
used to secure these heavy-duty cargo 
straps, refer to arrows.
>
Please observe the special instructions 
supplied with the heavy-duty cargo straps.
Always position and secure the load as 
described above. If you do not, it can 
endanger the passengers during braking or 
evasive maneuvers. 
When fastening lashings, use only the lashing 
eyes, refer to illustration; otherwise, the lash-
ings could come loose or you could damage the 
vehicle.
Never exceed the approved gross vehicle 
weight or either of the approved axle loads,
