Roof Rack

~1min read

A roof rack designed for your BMW is available. Observe the recommendations contained in its installation instructions.

Roof Rack Mounting Points

Точки крепления багажника находятся в дверных проемах или на полозьях крыши.

The roof rack mounting points are located in the door openings or on the roof rails.

Loading the Roof

Cargo placed on the roof shifts the vehicle's center of gravity. This noticeably changes the dynamic characteristics and handling of the vehicle. Therefore, when transporting luggage, do not exceed the maximum roof load, gross vehicle weight or axle loads.

Refer to the section "Weights" for the corresponding data.

Place luggage on the roof evenly and compactly. Heavy items go on the bottom. Make sure the load on the roof does not interfere with the sunroof and does not prevent opening the luggage compartment lid.

Proper and secure fastening of the load prevents it from shifting or falling off the vehicle while driving.

Drive smoothly, avoiding abrupt starts, hard braking and aggressive cornering.
