I tow my Triumph motorcycle with it, total weight is about 650lbs. Haven't had any problems. I have a bicycle rack that mounts to the ball style receiver.

The european manual puts the limit at 1,366 lbs. for an unbraked trailer and 3,306 (!) for the M44 engine, a braked trailer and lower road grades. The trailer I was using was no more than 400 lbs. It's just a little old boat trailer with a homemade deck. The cabinets were only a few hundred pounds, so maybe 700 lbs. max here. The tounge weight was definitely under the 165 lbs (150 lbs. for the hitch) limit. Under 100 lbs for sure. Even with this load it I cold barely tell it was pulling anything. Except for the clatter of the old trailer, and the slight tugging feeling over big bumps, it was pretty normal. Climbing out of the river valley (steep enough for a truck lane) I did shift out of 5th and into fourth, feeling that it didn't quite have the normal "ooph". Once in fourth it was happy again. | __________________ 1998 (July) 318ti, 5-spd OEM Armrest Blaupunkt Heidelberg CD50 CD Player/Compact Drive MP3 Player Diamond Audio 5.25" rear speakers Navman ICN 530 GPS BMWALARM.COM (with comfort settings) after market alarm system Magnecor 8.5mm wires M-Z3 Shifter/Momo Knob Burlwood Dashboard Stromung Exhaust X-brace Racing Dynamics Front Strut Bar Carbonio C.A.I. 17" Rial Rims Vader Seats/Heated/Lumbar Support M-tech Steering Wheel/Front Sway Bar/Front & Rear Bumper Depos/w 6500K Angel Eyes/6000K HIDs Clear Corners M3 Mirrors UUC Light Weight Flywheel/M5 Clutch/M3 Clutch Slave E28 3.46 LSD/Mcoupe Cover/E30 Flanges & Halfshafts UUC S.S.
