Mutual aid
238
The towing eyes of both vehicles should be on
the same side. If it is impossible to avoid attach-
ing the towbar at an angle, note the following:
> Towbar clearance may be restricted when
cornering.
> The towbar will generate lateral forces if it is
attached offset.
Only attach the towbar to the towing eye.
Attaching the towbar to other parts of the
car can result in damage.<
With towrope
Ensure that the towrope is taut when the towing
vehicle moves off.
For towing, use nylon ropes or tapes, as
these will help to avoid sudden tensile
loads. Only attach the towrope to the towing
eye. Attaching the towrope to other parts of the
car can result in damage.<
With breakdown truck
Have the BMW transported by a breakdown
truck with a hoisting frame or hoisted onto a
loading platform.
Do not raise the car at the towing eye or
by body or suspension components, oth-
erwise it could be damaged.<
Tow-starting
These cars cannot be tow-started.
Starting with a flat battery, see page 236.
Have the cause of the starting difficulties recti-
fied.
