It's square in the middle opposite... So I have to negotiate it which ever way I leave the drive >:(

Awaiting a call back from Sussex... Just in case it has been stolen... It appeared around 5am yesterday.

Put a glossy magazine in front of each back wheel.
Hook a ratchet strap around the rear part of each wishbone.
Loop the centre of the strap around your toward.
Drag the bloody thing clear of your drive.
Problem solved.
Nice idea, just need a towbar ::)

Bit close to the house if it goes pop. Besides it's not that sort of area ;D

BMW - Stopped out of the blue - Completely dead -  Not even hazards - Owner walking

Not that I'm stereotyping or anything  ::)

FTFY. ;)

 :-X

Not mine, I can confirm. Although I had thought about leaving mine in the crappest part of Birmingham should I be forced to take it back. I figure it would only take 1-2nights max for nature to take its course.  :y

That just makes it easier. If your BMW has a fixed towing eye at the back(after 18months of not doing recovery work, I can't remember :) ) then use that - do NOT use a screw-in tow eye. If it doesn't, then a semi-trailing arm will do.
