Roof rack
*
Towing a trailer
When loading the roof rack, ensure that
the specified roof load limit, the car's
gross weight limit and the axle loads
are not exceeded.
The relevant figures are shown in
"Technical data", page 185.
The roof load must be uniformly distrib-
uted and should not be too large in
area. Heavy items of luggage should
always be placed at the bottom. Make
sure that sufficient clearance is avail-
able for raising the sliding/tilt sunroof
and that no objects extend into the
hinge-up area of the tailgate.
Fasten loads to the roof rack
securely, as they could endanger
following traffic if they shift or fall off
during the journey.
<
Drive smoothly and avoid violent accel-
eration, braking or cornering.
Cover flap*
Removing

panel in the cutout provided, pull down-
wards and to the rear and remove the

For attaching and removing the ball
head, please see the separate instruc-
tions.
Fitting
First install the cover flap at the top with
the groove in the aperture, then press in
the lower area (arrow).

Trailer tow hitch*
The suspension settings of your BMW
afford optimum safety, ride comfort and
sports performance.
If a trailer tow hitch has been fitted by
the manufacturer, the vehicle will also
be equipped with uprated suspension
*
at the rear as standard. This compen-
sates for the weight of the tow hitch
and also ensures optimum road behav-
iour when the trailer is not being towed.
If a trailer tow hitch
*
is retrofitted, it
must be of a type approved by BMW
and be expertly installed by BMW
Service. You are recommended to have
uprated suspension fitted as well.
On models with self-levelling suspen-
sion, the trailer-towing suspension
need not be retrofitted.
BMW does not approve of any other
suspension systems offered by the
automotive trade for trailer towing
purposes.
