Selector lever in position N.

Changing selector lever positions, refer to

page 52.

Do not exceed a towing speed of 45 mph

or 70 km/h and a towing distance of

90 miles/150 km, as otherwise the automatic

transmission may be damaged.<

Towing methods

In some countries, towing with tow bars or

ropes is not permitted in public traffic.

Familiarize yourself with the regulations on tow-

ing in the respective country.

With tow bar

The towing vehicle must not be lighter

than the towed vehicle, otherwise it may

be impossible to maintain control.<

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 angle,

please observe the following:

> Clearance and maneuvering capability will

be sharply limited during cornering.

> The tow bar will generate lateral forces if it is

attached offset.

Secure the tow bar to the tow fitting only.

Otherwise damage to other vehicle parts

could result.<

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.

Secure the tow rope to the tow fitting only. Oth-

erwise damage to other vehicle parts could

result.<

With tow truck

Have the BMW transported with a tow truck

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

Do not lift the vehicle by a tow fitting or

body and chassis parts, as otherwise

damage may result.<

Tow-starting

If the electrical system fails, do not

attempt to tow-start or tow away the car.

The electric steering wheel lock cannot be dis-

engaged and the car is not steerable. Jump

starting, refer to page 194.<

Do not tow-start vehicles with an auto-

matic transmission. Only tow-start vehi-

cles with a catalytic converter with the engine

cold. It is better to jump start the engine, refer to

page 194.<

1. Switch on the hazard warning flashers,

comply with local regulations.

2. Switch on the ignition, refer to page 49.

3. Shift into 3rd gear.

4. Have the vehicle tow-started with the clutch

pedal completely depressed and slowly

release the clutch. After the engine starts,

immediately depress the clutch pedal com-

pletely 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.
