Towing with a BMW?
I can honestly say that I've never seen a BMW towing something behind it on the road. I was having a conversation with a friend about the PITA of working on my house without easy access to a flat-bed truck. Long story short, he was suggesting I do what he does and get a utility trailer to tow things around. Hummmm?? Interesting. I also flip BMWs (not physically...lol) in my spare time, so being able to potentially pick up smaller BMWs is a big plus.
I'm curious how many if you out there put their BMWs to work towing things around and what is it considered too excessive to be towing with a BMW. I personally don't like driving SUVs (that's all my wife), but I could seriously consider an X5 or X6 (M50i) as a replacement for my 550i to do this.

A fair number of BMW car owners use utility trailers. Absolutely no problem. In Germany they tow small “caravans”, camper trailers. I would not tow another car on a trailer. That is not a good idea.
I have some photos I will post later. You can google and find some.

One of BMW's racers Bill Auberlen (really nice guy) use to tow his big ass power boat to Havasu with a X6.
