Magnetic tow beam...
Today's BMW advert has something to with the date and details their new magnetic tow beam.
You approach a car in front of you, engage the beam, and his car then pulls and guides your car - you turn off the engine and let him pull and steer.
Unusually for BMW they suggest a polite flash of the headlights when you disengage and turn off the road as a form of thanks.
Reminds me of a sillier April 1 advert of theirs in the early 1980s. That crazy article described an impossible system in which the tyre pressures of all 5 wheels was transmitted to the dashboard, to be read at will, and with an alarm if any tyre pressure was low! Just imagine that!
A2006 D3 finally swapped for a 2016 D4 Graphite in Graphite grey. No mods
