Giving and receiving assistance

138

Using a tow fitting

The screw-in tow fitting must always be carried

in the car. It can be screwed in at the front or

rear of the BMW.

Coupe: it is stored in the onboard tool kit under-

neath the cover on the right-hand side of the

cargo bay, refer to page 127.

Convertible: it is stored in the onboard tool kit

underneath the cargo bay floor, refer to

page 127.

Use only the tow fitting provided with the

vehicle and screw it all the way in. Use the

tow fitting for towing on paved roads only. Avoid

lateral loading of the tow fitting, e.g. do not lift

the vehicle by the tow fitting. Otherwise the tow

fitting and the vehicle could be damaged.<

Press on the upper part of the cover panel.

Being towed

Make sure that the ignition is switched on,

refer to page 46, otherwise the low-beam

headlamps, tail lamps, turn signal indicators and

windshield wipers may be unavailable.

Power steering assistance is not available when

the engine is not running. Thus, braking and

steering will require increased effort.<

Manual transmission

Gearshift lever in neutral position.

M dual clutch transmission with

Drivelogic

Ensure that the parking lock P is not

engaged as the rear wheels will otherwise

be blocked.

When using the car wash function, refer to

page 48, note that the parking lock P is

engaged automatically after approx. 30 min-

utes, blocking the rear wheels.

If an electrical malfunction occurs or if towing

takes longer than approx. 20 minutes, manually

release the parking lock, refer to page 51.<

When towing, do not exceed a maximum

speed of 30 mph/50 km/h and a maxi-

mum distance of 30 miles/50 km, otherwise the

transmission can be damaged.<

BMW recommends transporting the vehicle on

a tow truck with a flat bed.

Towing methods

Do not lift the vehicle by a tow fitting or

body and chassis parts, otherwise dam-

age may result.<

With a 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.
