BMW 1 Series Roof Load: What You Should Know

Before installing a roof tent on your BMW 1 Series, you should familiarize yourself with your vehicle model's roof load. The BMW 1 Series has a surprisingly substantial roof load for a vehicle of its size. You can find the exact values in your vehicle's papers or by inquiring directly with the manufacturer. It is important to note that you must add the weight of the roof rack to the total load. Another factor that should not be overlooked is the difference between dynamic and static roof load – while dynamic roof load specifies the maximum permissible weight while driving, static roof load refers to the weight that 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 for smaller cars are excellent. The Tanami Ultra Light was specially developed for smaller vehicles and ensures that your BMW 1 Series' roof load is not exceeded due to its low weight. Despite its lightweight design, it offers the same comfort and protection as heavier models. With an assembly and disassembly time of only a few minutes, it is also the perfect choice for spontaneous weekend trips.
