towed. <
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 vehicle tool kit
underneath the cover on the right-hand side of
the trunk, refer to page 266.
Convertible: it is stored in the onboard vehicle
tool kit underneath the trunk floor, refer to
page 266. 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

the vehicle by the tow fitting. Otherwise, the
tow fitting and the vehicle could be damaged. <

Make sure that the ignition is switched on,
refer to page60; 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. Active
steering is not active and it will be necessary to
turn the steering wheel further. <
