And a unicorn!

[Nolimite39]

A bit OT but do any of you good folks make trips between Dallas and Houston on any sort of regular basis. Found an M Performance Exhaust in Dallas for the e90 but the guy won't ship and driving 9 hours round trip is just not in the stars.

I bought a set of mounted tires from eBay from "won't ship" but I hired a company to come to the seller and worked out a deal.

I had to convince seller to box them that was the hardest part.

Wow! A good deal. I would have bought something like that but only during that time period after I bought the car, then realized what a PITA it was to get all the towing stuff together, but before I actually pieced it all together... Awful nice of him to collect it all for one lucky unicorn of a buyer.

No doubt!

One regret when my e53 was totaled I didn't grab the factory hitch gear.

I figured that it wouldn't fit my e70 anyhow but it could have went to somebody on xo. So "sorry whomever that was".

Prior owner installed a Westfalia hitch kit in 2020. According to the spreadsheet he gave me it was $450 so probably used/salvaged. Looks exactly like this kit.

I've yet to tow anything with it but probably will this summer when I move to KY. Unsure I want to tow my F30 up and over those mountains in the heat, but a uhaul box trailer should be fine. I'll fly back and drive the F30 up there.

If it helps, I tow a 4,000lb trailer over several mountain passes every summer -- have done it in 100 degree heat climbing up to about 5,500 ft. or so. There's one climb where I have it in third gear at 5,000+ RPM and wide open throttle for 5 or 10 minutes straight just trying to maintain speed, and can't even turn the AC off or the family complains Honestly I think the manual transmission is better for that kind of stuff because it doesn't have a problem with high temps like an auto does. Make sure to use good oil and change it beforehand, that kind of service probably wears out your oil pretty quick.

That's me!! :

One is always too far from me. I do have the next best option to install. I'll be installing it hopefully next month. Cur 5019 hitch.

Most pick n' pull places sell airbags. It's a pretty safe bet, these days after the Takata recall. I know my local yard has one. $40.
