Towing and tow-starting

Always observe all applicable towing laws

and regulations.<

Never allow passengers to ride in a towed

vehicle for any reason.<

Use tow fitting

The threaded tow fitting is stored in the tool kit

mounted on the inside of the luggage compart-

ment under the floor mat, refer to page 180, and

should always remain in the vehicle. It can be

screwed in at the front or rear of the BMW.

To avoid damage to the tow fitting and the

vehicle, observe the following: only use

the tow fitting that comes with the vehicle and

screw it in as far as possible. Use the tow fitting

for towing only on roads. Avoid lateral strains on

the tow fitting, e.g. do not the lift vehicle by the

tow fitting.<

Being towed

Make sure that the ignition key is in posi-

tion 1, as otherwise the steering wheel

could lock and it would be impossible to steer

the vehicle. There is no power assist with the

engine stopped. This then requires increased

effort for braking and steering. Active steering is

deactivated and larger steering wheel move-

ments are required.<

Switch on the hazard warning flashers depend-

ing on the local regulations. If the electrical sys-

tem fails, mark the vehicle to be towed, e.g. with

a sign or warning triangle in the rear window.

Vehicles with manual transmission

Gearshift lever in idle position

Vehicles with automatic transmission

Selector lever in position N.

Do not exceed a towing speed of 45 mph/

70 km/h and a towing distance of

90 miles/150 km, as otherwise the automatic

transmission may be damaged.<

Vehicles with SMG Sequential manual

transmission

With the ignition switched on, engage selector-

lever position N, then switch off the ignition.

Towing methods

In some countries, towing with tow bars or

ropes in public traffic is not permitted.

Familiarize yourself with the regulations on tow-

ing in the respective country.

With tow bar

The towing vehicle may not be lighter

than the vehicle to be towed, as otherwise

it will not be possible to 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, please observe the following:

> Clearance and maneuvering capability will

be strictly limited during cornering.
