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.
Mounting points
> Use the luggage net*, luggage straps, 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 or cargo area are used to secure these heavy- duty cargo straps, refer to illustration.
> 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. Use only the lashing eyes to secure heavy-duty cargo straps, refer to illustration, otherwise the cargo straps could become detached or the vehicle could be damaged. Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer to page 229 ff., as excessive loads can pose a safety hazard, and may also place you in viola- tion of traffic 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
The mounting points are located in the door openings or on the roof rails*.
Loading roof-mounted luggage 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 on page 229 ff. The load on the roof must be evenly distributed and must not extend outward beyond the limits of the loading surface. Always stow the heaviest pieces at 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 compartment lid/ tailgate. Secure roof-mounted cargo correctly and securely to prevent it from shifting or falling off during the trip. Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking maneuvers. Take corners gently.
