Yea, it can (and will) tow the E46 w/ trailer w/o an issue. I won’t need to trailer the E46 for a while though, not until it’s fully gutted/caged.

Jay Seely. Was great to work with. I test drove a 535xi a while back with him when I brought my brother’s 330xi in for some service, and he was really nice then so I went straight to him this time.

When I was at LRP for an event last year, a guy was towing his 996 GT3 with one and he said it was a great tow vehicle that he loves driving every day. His ballerness \> mine lol.

I don’t think I could’ve gotten the same feeling driving say, a Duramax’d 2500HD. I’m not a huge fan of trucks, so an SUV was more to my liking. Since none of the manufacturers in the USA make diesel SUV’s (unless I wanted a used Excursion, 'burban, etc), only hybrid junk, I had to go Euro.
