Access to the mounting points:
To fold up the cover (arrow), please use 
the tool which is provided with the 
luggage system.

A special luggage system is available 
as an option for your BMW. Please 
observe the precautions included with 
the installation instructions.

Because roof racks raise the center of 
gravity of the vehicle when loaded, they 
exercise a major effect on its handling 
and steering response.
You should therefore always remember 
not to exceed the approved roof weight, 
the approved gross vehicle weight or 
the axle weights when loading the rack. 
You will find the specifications under 
"Technical Data"  on page

Make sure that the load is not too heavy, 
and attempt to distribute it evenly. 
Always load the heaviest pieces first 
(on the bottom). Be sure that adequate 
clearance is maintained for raising the 
sliding/tilt sunroof, and that objects do 
not project into the opening path of the 
tailgate.

Secure the roof luggage correctly and 
tightly to prevent it from shifting or 
being lost during driving (danger to 
following traffic).

Drive smoothly and avoid sudden 
acceleration or braking. Do not corner 
at high speeds. 

The roof load increases aerodynamic 
resistance, resulting in increased fuel 
consumption and additional stresses 
on the vehicle's body.
