Do you tow, or have you towed with your F15 or F16? Anything from a small trailer to a huge travel trailer, or even bicycles.

Factory hitch, Invisihitch, or whatever.

Lets see some towing pictures here:

boat.

Nice, but how far do you have to reverse into the water to get it to float?

You need the ///M Performance Snorkel Kit for getting a sailboat in the water. It's $1995 installed and allows you to drive in up to 8 feet of water. #truestory

Haha, that made me smile. But I bet cranes lift it out of the trailer and into the water...

theove · 12-02-2016, 07:40 PM

Yes, a crane.

Hi

I spotted this thread, and I want to ask your advice, I have a F15 M sport and I tow my caravan with it, but I cannot find any towing mirrors, I used to tow with my E70 and the BMW mirrors fitted great, BUT now BMW say they do not make them FOR the F15, and the generic ones just damage the mirror housing.

Dealer has order some that they said would fit, but they don't go near

Does any one know of a company that supply them

Thanks

Great pics

These mirrors are excellent: https://hensleymfg.com/products/mckesh-mirrors/

I highly recommend you to purchase the optional add-on round convex mirrors, they are very useful.

MrTookies · 02-20-2017, 05:17 PM

As far as size goes... I think this was the largest...weight.... a trailer full of tile

DrewBert · 02-20-2017, 06:01 PM

I have H&R springs I'm going to install on my x5 50i with levelling

Will I still be able to tow my 4500lbs boat?
