Giving and receiving assistance
264 tem fails, mark the vehicle to be towed, e.g. with 
a sign or warning triangle in the rear window.
Before towing, manually unlock the trans-
mission lock, refer to page66; failure to 
do so can result in damage to the transmis-
sion.<
Do not exceed a towing speed of 45 mph/
70 km/h and a towing distance of 
90 miles/150 km, otherwise the automatic 
transmission may be damaged.<
Towing methods
Do not lift vehicle by tow fitting or body 
and chassis parts, otherwise damage may 
result.<
In some countries, towing with tow bars or 
ropes in public traffic is not permitted. Familiar-
ize yourself with the regulations on towing in the 
respective country.
With tow bar
The towing vehicle may not be lighter 
than the vehicle to be towed, otherwise it 
will not be possible to reliably control vehicle 
response.<
The tow fittings used should be on the same 
side on both vehicles. Should it prove impossi-
ble to avoid mounting the tow bar at an offset 
angle, observe the following:
>Clearance and maneuvering capability will 
be sharply limited during cornering.
>When mounted at an angle, the tow bar will 
exert lateral forces, tending to push the 
vehicle sideways.
Only attach the tow bar to the tow fittings, 
as attachment to other vehicle parts can 
lead to damage.<
With tow rope
When starting off in the towing vehicle, make 
sure that the tow rope is taut.
To avoid jerking and the associated 
stresses on vehicle components when 
towing, always use nylon ropes or nylon straps. 
Only attach tow ropes to the tow fittings, as attachment to other vehicle parts can lead to 
damage.<
With tow truck
Do not tow your BMW with the front or 
rear axle raised individually; otherwise, 
the wheels may lock and the transfer case may 
be damaged.<
Have the BMW transported only on a flatbed 
surface.
Tow-starting
The engine cannot be started by tow-starting. 
Start the engine by jump starting it, refer to 
page262. 
Have the cause of the starting difficulties elimi-
nated.
