I suffered that on my old E60 wagon. I got into a serious accident and the police called for a regular pulley tow-truck, not a flatbed. So the car was dragged about a quarter mile on its rear wheels. In park. Luckily, I had put the parking brake on, so I don't think the transmission was damaged as much as it would have been had I left the parking brake off.
