Hi Guys... I have owned a 2003 3 series before and loved it. I currently have a 2007 hummer h3 that I traded my bmw for. I needed a suv because I need to tow a boat I bought recently. IT is a 18 foot boat.. Weight is around 3000lbs The hummer tows the boat really well. (the trailer does not have brakes)
The towing capacity of the hummer is 3500lbs.
Im looking to get a 2004+ x5 3.0 or 4.4.. Im leaning toward the 3.0 because of the manual trans. Better for towing and gas mileage. I do mostly highway driving.
One thing that concerns me is that it says the x5 has high tow capacity of 6000lbs but needs trailer brakes. and 1600 for without trailer brakes??? whats the deal with that? Am I going to be able to tow my boat with the x5 or should I look elsewhere?
thanks guys!
