what kind of towing method would you recommend for a 1990 bmw 325is? its a stick shift. u-haul recommends a dolly, but im afraid the transmission would run dry. what do you guys think?

also the location is about an hour away (46.65 miles according to yahoo maps)

Dolly should be no problem. WHat do yo umean about "running dry"? If its not in gear, and in neutral, with the rear wheels rolling. The only part thats running is from the driveshaft back. Plus its just for an hour!

CleanAzzE30z is right. A dolly is OK but make sure you leave the car in neutral and everything will be OK. GL
