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.
The anchorage points are located inside the
door openings.

Please follow the special instructions sup-
plied with the heavy-duty straps.
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.
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.
You can find this information under Weights on
page 228.
Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle
weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer
to page 228, 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.<
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.

This manual has been invaluable! My BMW did not have any manuals and I didn't have a clue on how to utilize the various features. I am learning more by the day and convinced without this manual I would not have enjoyed all the luxuries this beautiful machine has to offer.
