2010 BMW 3-Series Owners Manual

To avoid jerking and the associated
stresses on vehicle components when
towing, always use nylon ropes or nylon straps.
Attach the tow rope to the tow fittings only, as
attaching it to other parts of the vehicle could
result in damage.<
After the engine starts, immediately
depress the clutch completely again.
