WTB a E70 4.8i -- any pitfalls I should know about towing?
I require a E70 4.8i to tow my trailer'd Z4M to track days. Are all E70 4.8i "ready" to install the hitch if it doesn't have one? Is the hitch all that's needed, or does it need additional gizmos installed? Is trailer stabilization standard? What about a brake controller?
Also, will the 35d diesel work better for my needs? Thanks, Towing Noob

On my e70 3.5d I had factory hitch and you will need a lighting harness and then programming from BMW for the truck to recognize trailer lights. Brake controller not necessary, brakes on x5 will suffice. Just don't tow spiritedly. Lol.
Auto leveling works no problem and just make sure not to tow in sport mode. |
