[LeDerek]

BMW 320 towing release P gear steps are as follows: 1. To release the gear, remove the plastic mat in the cup holder to reveal the unlock cover under the left cup holder. 2. Insert the red tool into the socket, turn it counterclockwise to remove the cover, and insert the gear lever. 3. Press down the red gear lever and rotate it half a turn to unlock. 4. The red gear lever must remain in the socket to maintain the N gear state. Note: 1. For newer BMW models, the P gear is unlocked underneath the car and can only be released from there. 2. 4S shops only provide the method to release the P gear for vehicles being towed to the shop for repairs. 3. The claim that the P gear can be released via the handle button as long as the battery has some power is incorrect. If the engine is not running, even with battery power, the P gear cannot be released via the handle button. In other words, the P gear can only be released via the button when the engine is started. 4. Generally, tow trucks are only equipped with two towing wheels. If the vehicle is four-wheel drive, be sure to explain the situation when calling for a tow truck and wait until all four wheels are equipped before proceeding.
