When I called the tow truck company, they asked for the make and model of my car. They came an hour and a half later and towed my car to the dealership. I was in the passenger seat in the tow truck. The driver never asked me about the towing procedure. I was unaware of the correct way to tow the X5 until I came to this forum. How far does it have to be towed for the vehicle's transfer case to go out? BMW said the actual transmission is in perfect shape... are their any other reasons that the transmission wouldn't catch?
