    Default BMW Aerodynamic Roof Racks - How much load?

    How much load can you place on the BMW Aerodynamic roof racks?

    I am moving some big ungainly **** around, and one of the items is about 60lbs. Is that too much?

    you should be fine. I'd be more worried going over 150lbs

    let's see the engine compartment bro! And the interior

    Take the main load off the racks and run the tie downs thru the car with the doors open. You will still be able to close the doors. Pull them tight.
    I've had 3 surfboards stacked on the roof racks and been able to run about 75-80 mph easily.
