Just towed the M6 home (6000# total weight with trailer & car) to Wisconsin with the 2011 diesel. 952 miles and averaged 17.2 MPG running mostly at 74 MPH. At 70 MPH it was running at 2000 RPM. It did seem effortless and I was very surprised at how well the towing went. I'm guessing there is no way a gas X5 would get close to the same MPG's.

So is this all I am gaining with the diesel...mpg? If so, mileage is not that big of a deal to me given the frequency and distance I will be towing.

Seems like you really don't want to have to remove the hitch from the diesel in a couple years. Just go with putting on the 35i. You will be fine considering frequency and distance
