2. Press the button again; the cover in the
luggage compartment opens. If you
press the button firmly the first time, this
also opens the cover in the luggage
compartment
3. Extend the ski bag between the front
seats and fill it. The zipper allows more
convenient access to stored objects
and can also be left open to allow the
ski bag to dry
4. Insert the belt tongue of the ski bag belt
in the center safety belt buckle.
Ensure that the skis are clean before
loading them into the bag. Take care
to avoid damage from sharp edges.

Securing load
After loading, secure the ski bag and its
contents. Tension the retaining strap on the
tensioning buckle for this purpose.
Secure the ski bag in this way. If you
fail to do so, it could move around and
endanger occupants during braking or eva-
sive maneuvers.
<
To store the ski bag, perform the above
steps in reverse order.
Removing ski bag
The ski bag can be completely removed so
that you can use other inserts.
Your BMW center will be glad to pro-
vide you with more detailed informa-
tion on the various items of equipment.
<
Pull the handle forwards and remove the
ski bag upwards, then close the cover in
the luggage compartment.
Do not position cargo at the opening.
If you do, it can endanger the passen-
gers during braking or evasive maneuvers.
Always close off the passage with an insert,
as otherwise objects from the luggage
compartment can enter into the passenger
compartment.
