what damage can happen to my 1990 325ix drivetrain if it is towed by a regular towtruck that just lifts the front off the ground, and pulls it with the rear wheels on the ground? The car is the AWD model and the manuall says it must be towed by flatbed only.

Answer
Hi XXXXXXXXXXX. Thank you for asking your question on JustAnswer. The transmission could get damaged from towing likemthis. I would suggest a flat bed tow truck., the other option is most tow trucks have dollys which go under the rear axle to keep your back tires from turning. Your car might be ok or it may have issues now. very bad decision by the tow truck operator.
Thank you again for trusting us with your problem.
