Towing cars with automatic transmission (BMW 3 Series E30)

Gear shift lever position "N". Maximum towing speed: 50 km/h! Maximum towing range: 50 km!

If you need to tow over long distances, the rear of the vehicle must be raised or the driveshaft must be disconnected from the rear axle gearbox. When the engine is off, the automatic transmission pump does not work. Therefore, at high speeds and for a long time, the box will not have sufficient lubrication.

To prevent the steering wheel from locking and to be able to use the direction indicators, horn and, if necessary, windshield wipers, turn on the ignition.

Since the brake booster only works when the engine is running, the brake pedal must be pressed harder when the engine is not running!
