I have total confidence in the truck and its handling and braking capability with the amount of stuff I haul. My buddy tows his E36 m with an '06 4.4i on a similar trailer with about the same results as me. Not sure what the 3.0i could do...
We have a 3.0 sport and I have been looking at ways to tow with it. I am thinking I will need to go with a featherlite trailer to make it work... the 3.0 really struggles with power to start with.
