I need a little advice guys please...

Can a car fitted with a LSD be towed on it's rear wheels? - E36 M3 Bog standard LSD. Handbook makes no warning about this.

Towman who's just arrived says yes. Recieving garage, BM specialist, says no and wants it on a flat bed recovery truck.
It's about to be towed 40 odd miles.

Thanks

Thanks guys...no, no button as in Merc.

Trying to work out myself what the consequences might be. I can understand, I think, the pitfalls in a 4WD/AWD car with an uneven split of drive front and rear.

If anyone has got the definitive answer it would be appreciatedsmile

Thanks for replies guyssmile

Absolutely nothing about taking precautions in the handbook even though it mentions towing.

Fingers crossed all will be well!
