| Traveling southbound on R13 in Townsend MA, just about a 1/2 mile south of the MA/NH border I came upon said car. It appeared to have lost control while heading north and wound up in the brush on a the hilly part of the southbound side. Silver 540i, unknown year (as I was watching my driving more then the car.)
Anyhow, I stopped and told the Townsend officer on the scene that "I'm a BMW Car Club of America member and friend of BMW drivers. If the driver is still here, I'm willing to give the person a ride to anywhere they need to go." He replied that "The driver seems to be all set, but thanks for asking."
Well, I do hope everyone in the car is OK! The car itself didn't look too badly damaged.
My bad, I was 5 miles or so further south when I recalled that the crew flatbedding the car out probably doesn't know enough to use the tow hook in the trunk tool kit, and I should have offered mine to give them one to tie down each end of the car. When I had to have my own E39 towed from home when the cyclonic separator valve failed, I borrowed a 2nd tow hook from my E28 and got the job done right. I think I'll pick up a couple of spares and throw them in the boot so both cars always have one for each end in case something like that ever happens again. I'd hate to think the tow crew would unknowingly do damage to the 540's aluminum rear suspension bits.  |

| | No problem, I'd do it for any BMW I see disabled on the road, as I'm sure most any BMWCCA member also would. |
