With a 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.

Attach the tow rope to the tow fittings only, as

attaching it to other parts of the vehicle could

result in damage.<

With a tow truck: vehicle without xDrive

Have the BMW transported with a tow truck

with a so-called lift bar or on a flat bed.

Do not tow the vehicle with just the rear axle

raised as this may cause the steering to turn.

Do not lift the vehicle by a tow fitting or

body and chassis parts, otherwise dam-

age may result.<

With a tow truck: vehicle with xDrive

Do not tow a BMW with xDrive with just

the front or rear axle raised, otherwise the

wheels could lock up and the transfer case

could be damaged.<

Have the BMW transported on a flatbed surface

only.

Tow-starting

Avoid tow-starting the vehicle whenever possi-

ble; instead, jump-start the engine, refer to

page 237. Vehicles with a catalytic converter

should only be tow-started when the engine is

cold, vehicles with an automatic transmission

cannot be tow-started at all.

1. Switch on hazard warning flashers, comply

with local regulations.

2. Switch on the ignition, refer to page 59.

3. Shift into 3rd gear.

4. Have the vehicle tow-started with the clutch

depressed and slowly release the clutch.

After the engine starts, immediately

depress the clutch completely again.

5. Stop at a suitable location, remove the tow

bar or rope and switch off the hazard warn-

ing flashers.

6. Have the vehicle checked.

With xDrive: do not activate Hill Descent

Control HDC when the vehicle is being

tow-started, page 90.<
