Towing with xDrive40e, any experiences?

Hi all, has anybody tried towing with this plug in hybrid yet? This is at the top of my list, but I definitely need something that can tow about 3500 pounds (xDrive40e is rated for ~6000 pounds). I've seen other hybrids with issues towing so I wanted to see if anybody here has any experiences before I buy? Thanks!

theove Sweet! I'm trying to tow a boat as well. Do you know the approximate weight of yours? I read the gas engine sounds way overworked when going uphill? I actually pulled the trigger on the non hybrid last night.

Weight is about 3600 pounds. No problem for the engine (in sport the elect.motor always works together with the gas engine). And no, it's not a Ferrari..
