Hope you are flatbedding it, not "towing"...
and, find the screw-in drag hook so the
guy can cable you in, if a jump does not work.

For future reference. If your X5 is completely dead, meaning there is no current through the car, I mean mine was not even clicking. No click? don't worry. You just need a battery. You will need first a jump to see if that does it. If not then you need to flat bed it to BMW.

B'Dude...that is very good. Our '01 has the orig., but it's 5 1/2 years
and 54K worth of use. I left it, at our mtn joint, with a Battery Tender
hooked up via a weekly timer; will be interesting to see if it still goes
when we return.

I still rec'd a new batt as they rarely come back to life for long.
