Cost:benefit ratio.

Towing w/ X5:  
Car trailer: $4k  
Hitch: $1,200 installed from BMW  
Extra wear on X5, mileage, etc…: $???  
Total: $4,200+

Towing w/ M3:  
Trailer: $220  
Hitch: $500?  
Extra wear on M3 (which I don’t care nearly as much about): \< X5 costs  
Total: $720+

Since the car doesn’t have a cage, I see no reason to tow it w/ the X5 yet given the costs associated. Not to mention needing to store the trailer somewhere over the winter, or even between events, will make it a pain in the ass.

Plus the hitch assembly for the M3 will add some rigidity to the rear of the car. :rofl
