As mentioned earlier in this thread, the 35i should get the job done. On the other hand the 35d makes it effortless.
I used to tow my 240SX racecar on a trailer with a 3.3L Nissan Xterra. It did its job but there were better ways to move 3000 lbs. The X5d suits my lifestyle perfectly and it is capable as a tow rig. I towed my motorcycle with little effort. When I drove 200 miles to deliver a complete engine and transmission I hardly felt it. It was like I had a car full of big people. Fuel economy towing the engine from Houston to San Antonio was around 20 mpg. I was going 80-85 mph on Interstate 10, however.
In two weeks I'll be moving my race car from storage to my new garage, so the X5 will see towing duty once again. I love the versatility of my E70.
