    Need Wheels To Tow Car 2013 328i

    just purchased an e93 LCI 2013 328i with no wheels. i need to get it towed from DC to GA.

    can i simply throw on there any wheels just to get it towed or do i need to have the right size wheels, if so, whats the fitment or wheel specs?

    thanks,
    DoN

    There are a few things to consider.

    1. you should have wheels with the proper hub diameter so that you do not damage the lug nuts or rotors. This applies to all of the below situations

    2. if it is all wheel drive you should tow it on a trailer. Not good to tow is 4 wheels down.

    3. if it is not all wheel drive and automatic. best is to put it on a trailer, second option is to tow it with the rear wheels off the ground or disconnect drive shaft.

    3. if is is a standard then leaving it in neutral should be fine.
