Anyone taken an X3/trailer combo on any non-paved terrain?

Well, my UK spec 2004 X3 3.0i tows like a dream. The factory hitch has the Trailer Stability Program (unlike a retro fit hitch) and seems to stop snaking etc dead.
I towed for the 1st time in June - a fairly heavy and top-heavy load. Took it on a 600 mile round trip and after the first 20 miles, i basically 'forgot' it was there. Part of that was on unmade tracks...
Only downside with my X3 is that I have the Aero body kit and the hitch is VERY close to the bumper (which is painted), so have to be very careful actually hitching up.
