I am trying to confirm if you can tow a 545i 6 speed manual without hurting the transmission? I haven't heard of this being a problem before but somebody interested in buying my car wants to tow it behind their RV and a gentleman who develops tow brackets for cars said that a BMW 6 speed can't be towed unless it is turned on. This didn't make sense to me but wanted to confirm if that is indeed true.

Thanks in advance,
Tobey

Check the "Giving and Receiving Assistance" section in your car's owner's manual.
