5. Determine the combined weight of luggage

and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That

weight may not safely exceed the available

cargo and luggage load capacity calculated

in step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, part of

the load from your trailer will be transferred

to your vehicle. Consult the manual for

transporting a trailer to determine how this

may reduce the available cargo and luggage

load capacity of your vehicle.

Load

The permissible 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. If you do not, it can

endanger the passengers during braking or

evasive maneuvers.

When fastening lashings, use only the lashing

eyes, refer to illustration; otherwise, the lash-

ings could come loose or you could damage the

vehicle.

Never exceed the approved gross vehicle

weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer

to page 210, as excessive loads can pose a

safety hazard, and may also put you in violation

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 maneuvers.<

Pad on bottom of luggage

compartment

You can use the pad as needed, for example to

transport soiled objects. The rubberized side is

washable and has an anti-skid effect.
