In some countries, towing with tow bars or
ropes in public traffic is not permitted.
Familiarize yourself with the regulations on
towing in the respective country.

With tow bar

The towing vehicle may not be lighter
than the vehicle to be towed, other-

wise it mill not be possible to control vehi-
cle response.

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 fol-
lowing:

Clearance and maneuvering capability
will be strictly limited in corners

When mounted at an angle, the tow bar
will exert lateral forces, tending to push
the vehicle sideways.

Secure the tow bar on the tow fitting
only. Otherwise damage could result

on other vehicle parts.

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 on the
tow fitting only. Otherwise damage could
result on other vehicle parts.

With tow truck

Have the BMW transported with a tow truck
with a so-called lift bar or on a load bed.

Do not lift vehicle by tow fitting or
body and chassis parts, as otherwise

damage may result.
