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

Before installing a roof tent on your BMW 1 Series, you should familiarize yourself with the roof load capacity of your vehicle model. The BMW 1 Series has a considerable roof load capacity for a vehicle of its size. You can find the exact values ​​in the vehicle documentation or directly from the manufacturer. It's important to note that you must add the weight of the roof rack to the total load. Another factor to consider is the difference between dynamic and static roof loads – 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 developed specifically for smaller vehicles and, thanks to its low weight, ensures that the roof load of your BMW 1 Series is not exceeded. Despite its lightweight design, it offers the same comfort and protection as heavier models. With setup and takedown times of just a few minutes, it's also the perfect choice for spontaneous weekend trips.
