The 2015 BMW i8: Towing
For a tow on your 2015 BMW i8, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The engine is the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic.
Who does what
Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
Keep moving meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Car care, briefly
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
One more step
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
Request towing
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
