Check out page 58 of the owner's manual. one for unclipping the baseplate is manually releasing the transmission lock for towing.
I bet the used car dealer knows exactly why it was towed and isn't saying because it is a bad reason.
Or even if he isn't BSing I think rule #1 of buying used cars is walk away if you think the situation is suspicious.
One other thing to think about, is that since the Z4 is one of the 10 worst selling cars you can get a crazy deal on a NEW model. My car had MSRP of $64k and the dealer and I settled on $55k after some back and forth. Why bother with some potentially sketchy used car deal when you can get it new for almost the same price....
