ing-aid terminal of the vehicle to be started.
Tow-starting and towing
Observe applicable laws and regulations
for tow-starting and towing.<
Attach one end of the jumper cable minus/–
to the negative terminal of the battery or to
an engine or body ground of the assisting
vehicle.
Do not transport any passengers other
than the driver in a vehicle that is being
towed.<
Your BMW M5 has a special nut as body
ground or negative terminal.
Using tow fitting
The screw-on tow-fitting must always be car-
ried in the vehicle. It can be screwed in at the
front or rear of the BMW M5.
It is located in the toolkit in the luggage com-
partment lid, refer to page 210.
Use only the tow fitting provided with the
vehicle and screw it all the way in. Use the
tow fitting for towing only on roads. Avoid lateral
loading of the tow fitting, e.g. do not lift the vehi-
cle by the tow fitting. Otherwise damage to the
tow fitting and the vehicle can occur.<
