Load

The permitted load is the total of the weight of
occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the
weight of occupants, the less cargo/luggage
can be transported.

Stowing cargo

>

Load 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.

Securing cargo

>

Use the luggage net

*

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 are
used to secure these heavy-duty cargo
straps, refer to arrows.

>

Please observe the special instructions
supplied with the heavy-duty cargo straps.

Always position and secure the load as
described above, otherwise it may

present a danger to passengers during braking
or evasive maneuvers.
Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle
weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer
to page

192

, as excessive loads can pose a

safety hazard, and may also place you in viola-
tion of freeway 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 maneuver.
