Towing other vehicles

General information

Light towing vehicle

The towing vehicle must not be lighter

than the vehicle being towed; otherwise, it will

not be possible to control the vehicle re‐

sponse.◀

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.

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

cornering.

▷ 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, al‐

ways 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

secured 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 stored in the on‐

board vehicle tool kit under the narrow cargo

floor cover in the cargo area. To open, lift the

floor cover.

Tow fitting, information on use

▷ 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.
