I had ordered a tow dolly for another, front wheel drive vehicle, but now plan on towing the BMW. There seems to be a lot of debate online as to whether I can simply put it in neutral or if I need to disconnect the drive shaft. The latter seems more difficult than on some cars, so if I need to, I might either 1. get a trailer 2. see if I can sell the car rather quickly. Anyone any experience with the 318ti on a tow dolly? Thanks! This forum has been a wealth of info since buying the car. | | | 06-18-2020, 07:32 PM | #2 | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2020 Location: Massachusetts Posts: 3 | Looking at my owner's manual, it would seem to be fine to just tow it in neutral. They suggest that you only tow an auto 30 miles, but give no distance for the manual. | | | 06-19-2020, 01:18 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: US Posts: 315 | Internet seems split 50/50 on dolly a rwd manual car. Depending on the angle you should be ok. If you really want to be safe, just drop the DS. | | | 06-19-2020, 02:47 PM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2020 Location: Massachusetts Posts: 3 | Quote: Originally Posted by ZEK Internet seems split 50/50 on dolly a rwd manual car.

It just seemed a bit more effort on this car than some others and I'm going to be a bit pressed as moving day approaches. | | | 06-20-2020, 12:05 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2013 Location: Seattle Posts: 513 | I'd drop the driveshaft. Or get all the wheel's off the ground. I towed a '79 cj7, rwd/manual car as you're describing 1k miles without disconnecting and it tore something up. I don't remember what broke. | | | 06-23-2020, 09:29 PM | #6 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT!

Assuming the front wheel bearings are good. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
