You can come on a Cast Away raft if you want. Just come.

I like it...nothing wrong with pulling watercraft with cars, I used to pull my Bass Tracker with my wifes 93 Grand Am.
And more than once my Dad's 19 ft centerconsole was pulled with my 85 Monte Carlo SS.

I suppose it COULD be a chick's car but it is nothing at all like a miata.... I'm 6'4" and if I move the seat all the way back I can't push the clutch all the way in... I wear a miata like pants 2 sizes too small.
Actually I would have no problem with towing a V behind it if I had the European factory hitch (costs over $1000 to get imported) but this one (much less moneys) bolts through the sheet metal and I don't want to end up tearing the car up from metal fatigue. Das auto is VW ... BMW is "the ultimate driving machine"  I used to laugh too till I drove one.... I've been hooked ever since.... I've had much faster cars in the past but there's something to be said for a car that makes you giggle a little every time you drive it.  Yeah it does have independent suspension but as light as I'll be towing I think it'll be fine.. BMW USA rates em to tow 0 lbs but BMW in Europe rates em at @3750 lbs (with trailer brakes) but only 165 lbs tongue weight ( I assume because of the IRS) Last edited by smokeonthewater; 05-07-2013 at 10:33 PM.

I was trying to get a rise out of you. I figured you would say "chick magnet."
I like your new ride. Inline 6? What is the curb weight? I liked the old Monte Carlo's for towing. They had a full frame from the 70's and into the late 80's and many models with a v-8. (Although anemic) Most if not all would be giving up HP and MPG to the Beammer. Curb weight was 3800 on my 84 Monte. I suspect the BMW is at least that heavy. Probably a very capable as a tow vehicle if you mind the tounge weight. If I behave can I go to a raft-up?

Yeah I know.... all in fun :D
Its is an inline 6.. 228 hp at 6500 rpm and 221 ft/lbs at 3500 rpm. Curb weight looks to be 3600 lbs. If I'm allowed at the raft up surely an upper class 'feller such as yourself could get in... ps.. yeah it's a chick magnet too ;)
