BMW i8 towed wrong

[DRCraig]

Just saw a post of a BMW i8 get towed with its rear wheels rolling. No shade on the owner or towtruck driver- easy mistake if you don't know the i8 is AWD- or maybe opting for the cheapest towtruck. Hell I don't know.

But as the Afrikaans goes: "Goedkoop is duurkoop"

Not all cars can be dragged home with a rope and a prayer.

RIP gearbox and drivetrain

maybe it did a hill climb with amarok seats and the bakkie was in the way

Sound plausible

Well, this is what most people without proper roadside assistance (after Plan expires), and just have their insurance's roadside assistance, have to contend with.

More reason to get the AA or similar premium roadside assistance after the Plan expires.

I love the comments:

"It's totaled so it doesn't matter"

"It's an electric car,no gearbox"

"The tow truck driver is just trying to make a living"

My insurance actually will ask what type of transport I prefer.

Think of it this way,

It will have a full charge when it reaches the tow yard....

Ready to race

MOst cases what these Tow guys that race to scene do, They may hook the car up to claim the tow.

So that the other guys can no longer try to convince the client to use their service.

Once hooked, they call the flat bed then they just drop it and load on flat bed.
Thats how Most of the Top tow companies do it

So this may be a case like that, If not, Yes. RIP i8

You should tell them you prefer to fly...private.
