 or securing straps to 
secure small and lightweight luggage and 
cargo.

Heavy-duty straps
*
 for securing larger and 
heavier objects are available at your BMW 
center. Four lashing eyes for attaching 
these heavy-duty straps are provided in the 
luggage compartment, refer to illustration.
>
Please follow the special instructions sup-
plied with the heavy-duty straps.
Always position and secure the load as 
described above. If you do not, it can 
endanger the passengers, for example during 
braking or evasive maneuvers. 
Attach heavy-duty straps only to the lashing 
eyes, refer to illustration, otherwise, the heavy-
duty straps could come loose or the vehicle 
could be damaged.
Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle 
weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer 
to page
, as excessive loads can impair the 
operational safety of the vehicle and may also 
put you in violation of highway safety laws. 
You should never transport unsecured heavy or 
hard objects in the passenger compartment, as 
they could fly around and pose a safety hazard 
to the vehicle's occupants during abrupt brak-
ing or evasive maneuvers.

Roof-mounted luggage rack*
A special rack system is available as an option 
for your BMW. Please comply with the precau-
tions included with the installation instructions.
Anchorage points
The anchorage points are located inside the 
door openings.
Loading roof rack
Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center of 
gravity when loaded, they have a major effect on 
its 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.
You can find this information under Weights on 
page
.
The roof load must be uniformly distributed and 
should not be too large in area. Always load the 
heaviest pieces on the bottom. Be sure that 
adequate clearance is maintained for raising the 
glass sunroof, and that objects do not project 
into the opening path of the luggage compart-
ment lid.
Secure roof-mounted cargo correctly and 
securely to prevent it from shifting or falling off 
as you drive.
Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration and 
braking maneuvers. Take corners gently.
