Convertible top compartment

With the convertible top closed, you
can enlarge the luggage compart-

It is recommended that you always fold the
convertible top compartment panel down
as soon as you have removed cargo from
the luggage compartment. This way, you
can be sure that you can always operate
the convertible top at any time.
Conversely, when the convertible top is
closed, raise the convertible top compart-
ment panel before stowing your cargo in
the luggage compartment to avoid any
damage to the convertible top compart-
ment or your load.

If you stow cargo behind the seats of your
BMW:

Only stow light objects such as cloth-
ing, etc.

Do not pile objects higher than the top
edge of the backrests.
