'Trailering' e34 behind a moving truck....
I'm moving across the country (Canada) in a couple of weeks and have considred towing the 525 behind the u-haul truck on a trailer (not a dolly). I've never towed a vehicle in this manner, especially over such a distance and wonder whether body damage/paint chipping is a common occurance. Anything else to know? Any advice appreciated. The new job is paying for the move so no probs with cost, but would rather only have one driver at a time on our 5000km venture.
Thanks again

Shall look into it. I suppose cost does become a issue at some point.

strap a car cover to the front of the car? i've seen some trailers with a shield up the front of the trailer to ward off crud, there shouldn't be that much crap with the car running in the slipstream of the truck on paved roads

As stated in the first post, it will not be on a 'dolly' for the reasons
you elude to below. I will heed the advice of Winfred and use a cover for the front at minimum.
Thanks again guys.
