Use some strong tape to tape down the wipers and cover the wind shield wiper nozzles too. Painters tape is ur friend. Also tape up bumpers (front/back) cuz u never know which direction ur car will be facing on the trailer???

Consider getting a great coat of wax on the paint before the shipping. Max out your auto insurance for the week of transport (full coverage with $100 deductible). Test out ur BMW assist a week before the transport to make sure the remote door unlock works.

Vinyl wrap can be ur friend if u r up to doing the entire car yourself?

Get it in writing that the car will always be locked unless being operated to move off/on trailer. Get shipping companies insurance policy number and double check the coverage limits. Also ask ur insurance if they cover u in case $hit happens. Keep about 1/8th tank of gas so if someone steals it... They gotta pump it up to get anywhere. If u have a battery tender... Charge up the car to max before hand.

I shipped two vehicles from SoCal to NJ for $900 total
