Roof load capacity of the BMW 1 Series: What you should know

Before mounting a roof tent on your BMW 1 Series, you should familiarize yourself with the roof load capacity of your specific vehicle model. The BMW 1 Series boasts a quite considerable roof load for a vehicle of its size. You can find the exact figures in your vehicle documents or by contacting the manufacturer directly. It's important to remember that you must add the weight of the roof rack to the total load capacity. Another factor that shouldn't be overlooked is the difference between dynamic and static roof load – while the dynamic roof load indicates the maximum permissible weight while driving, the static roof load refers to the weight the roof can support when stationary.

Lightweight roof tents – ideal for the BMW 1 Series

Since the BMW 1 Series is one of the more compact vehicles, particularly lightweight roof tents are ideal for smaller cars . The Tanami Ultra Light was specifically designed for smaller vehicles and, thanks to its low weight, ensures that the roof load capacity of your BMW 1 Series is not exceeded. Despite its lightweight design, it offers the same comfort and protection as heavier models. With a setup and takedown time of just a few minutes, it's also the perfect choice for spontaneous weekend trips.
