How do you tow a BMW X3?
I just bought a BMW X3! I’m really excited, but I also want to make sure I’m prepared for the worst—so how is a BMW X3 towed?

Kudos to you for being on top of things! Towing a BMW requires a special piece of equipment called a tow bar, and the ignition must be in neutral.
Due to the design of the BMW, you need to make sure the front wheels don’t come in contact with the pavement. A tow bar helps minimize this risk, since it keeps your car’s weight evenly distributed. Just make sure you get one that holds more than the weight of your car!
The ignition requirement is an anti-theft measure, and can help keep high-value cars like BMWs from being stolen.
As long as you’re all set with these two requirements, towing should be a straightforward process.
However, with a BMW, you may want to opt for professional roadside assistance. To get the best value on a roadside assistance plan, check out the
