As I was driving to work this morning, I was a little shocked when I saw this on the road and took a few photos with my phone.
Is that how you're supposed to do it?

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
No, of course not. You are NEVER supposed to tow a car with the drive wheels on the ground, and as with our own E60's - it is ALWAYS better to demand a flatbed tow truck to avoid damage. This owner/tow truck driver are morons for doing this (just goes to show that even the best engineering cannot fix stupid)
