F10 xdrive towing - is it okay or not?

Hello all,

I have an issue on my mind.. recently i had to tow the car (a F10 525d xdrive Automatic) and the guy who came to pick it up came with a truck which could only lift two wheels. And he said it's ok to raise the car from the rear. I didn't know if it's ok, but he insisted it's fine.

So the car was towed for 5 km with just the rear wheels lifted from the ground.
The engine was off and the transmission was in P.

When i got the car off the truck, i had a stiff steering wheel and some errors, but these seem to go. The real question on my mind is - could this have a negative effect on the transmission?

Thank you.

PS: the car was towed to a dealer, so i don't have acces to it the next few days.
