2003 X5 3.0

What have I towed?

Lots of rental trailers while doing yard work. Usually up to 4000/4500 lbs. Shorter distances.

Box trailers when moving. Highway speeds, interprovince. Usually less than 2000 lbs, but with some wind resistance.

A parade float, built on a heavy construction equipment flat deck usually used for a rubber tired backhoe, and towed behind a heavy truck. Twenty people, and a band, on the float. Very low speed. X5 looked great.

A 34' Genie hydraulic boom type manlift, trailer mounted. Drew lots of attention, the rental yard had never hooked one up to a BMW before. Photos here:

X5 tows great.
