body and chassis parts; otherwise, damage may
result.◀

Towing other vehicles

General information

Light towing vehicle
Your vehicle must not be lighter than the

vehicle being towed; otherwise, it will not be
possible to control vehicle response.◀

Attaching the tow bar/tow rope correctly
Attach the tow bar or tow rope to the tow

fitting; connecting it to other vehicle parts may
cause damage.◀

▷

Switch on the hazard warning system, de‐
pending on local regulations.

▷

If the electrical system has failed, clearly
identify the vehicle being towed by placing
a sign or a warning triangle in the rear win‐
dow.

Towing methods when towing other

vehicles

Tow bar

The tow fittings used should be on the same
side on both vehicles.
Should it prove impossible to avoid mounting
the tow bar at an offset angle, please observe
the following:

▷

Maneuvering capability is limited during cor‐
nering.

▷

The tow bar will generate lateral forces if it
is secured with an offset.

Tow rope

When starting to tow the vehicle, make sure that
the tow rope is taut.
To avoid jerking and the associated stresses on
the vehicle components when towing, always
use nylon ropes or nylon straps.

Attaching the tow rope correctly
Only secure the tow rope on the tow fit‐

ting; otherwise, damage can occur when it is se‐
cured on other parts of the vehicle.◀

Tow fitting

The screw-in tow fitting should always be car‐
ried in the vehicle. It can be screwed in at the
front or rear of the BMW. It is located in the con‐
tainer on the inside of the trunk lid.

Tow fitting, information on use

▷

Use only the tow fitting provided with
the vehicle and screw it all the way in.
