Load

The permissible load is the sum of the occu-
pants' weights and the weight of the cargo. The
greater the weight of the occupants, the less
cargo can be transported.

Stowing cargo

Load heavy cargo as far forward as possi-
ble, directly behind the cargo bay partition,
and as low as possible.

Cover sharp edges and corners.

To avoid damaging the rear of the back-
rests or the rear interior trim panel, do not

stow heavy cargo or cargo with sharp edges
and corners behind the seats.
In addition, large and bulky cargo stowed
behind a seat may prevent the backrest from
engaging properly. Therefore, check the back-
rest to see if it is properly engaged, and move
the seat forward if necessary; refer to page

Always position and secure the load as
described above. If you do not, it can endanger
the occupants during braking or evasive
maneuvers.
Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle
weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer
to page

109

, 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.

Roadster: convertible top

compartment

The cargo bay can be enlarged when the
convertible top is closed, refer to page

It is recommended that you always fold the con-
vertible top compartment panel down as soon
as you have taken your cargo out of the cargo
bay. This way, you can be sure that you can
always operate the convertible top at any time.
When the convertible top is closed, fold the
convertible top compartment panel up before
stowing your cargo in the cargo bay, to avoid
any damage to the convertible top compart-
ment or your load.
Do not stow any items on the convertible top
compartment panel, otherwise the convertible
top could be damaged while it is opening.

If you stow cargo behind the seats of your
BMW:

Only stow light objects such as clothing,
etc.

Do not pile objects higher than the top edge
of the backrests.

Roadster: hardtop
