Stowing cargo
>
Place 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.
>
For very heavy cargo when the rear seat is 
not occupied, secure each outside rear 
safety belt in the opposite buckle.
Securing cargo
>
Use the luggage net
*
 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 heavy or hard 
objects unsecured in the passenger compart-
ment, as they could fly around and pose a safety 
hazard to the vehicle's occupants during abrupt 
braking 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 the specified weights under 
Weights starting on page
.
Make sure that the roof load is distributed 
evenly, and that it does not extend outward to 
beyond the limits of the loading surface. Always 
load the heaviest pieces first – on the bottom. 
Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained 
for raising the glass sunroof, and that objects do
