That being said I cant afford a truck and a car. So I need a car that will tow a light (200lb) trailer and my 400lb SV to the track a few times a year. Quote:

if it's just a 200lb trailer... your looking at basically 500-600lb trailer with the bike... you should have NO problems towing that with any modern suv. shit even a lot of car's will do that. |

all the truth is... you CAN afford a truck and a car... but you can't afford a BMW "truck" and a car.
get an old solid pos for your truck... and pickup a honda or toyota for the car... probably still under the price of the BMW

With towing, comes hauling other crap... (gas, tools, etc.) which comes more wear and tear on the car itself. Any vehicle I have ever used for transporting stuff becomes worn... no something I would want in my BMW M-5 series car.
BMW's are fine cars, but I wouldn't consider one for towing.

In reality I'll probably do 2 track days a year tops so towing really isn't a priority for me. Just something it needs to do every once in awhile. Kinda like the wife and laundry. BTW. The BMW I'm looking at is not a truck/suv. It's a 4 door sedan. Last edited by SteveP; 11-22-2008 at 11:13 PM.. |

Hondas and Toyotas are a dime a dozen. Probably the same rationale as to why I own an Italian motorcycle. Last edited by SteveP; 11-23-2008 at 02:03 AM.. |
