Every BMW xDrive (all-wheel-drive) model requires flatbed. The transfer case can't handle wheel-lift. Models: most 3-series xDrive, 5-series xDrive, X1, X3, X5, X7, M-models with AWD.

BMW warranty explicitly voids transfer case repairs that show tow damage. The transfer case alone runs $3,000–$5,000 plus labor.

We flatbed every xDrive at $249 / hour. Book online for $224 first hour.
