Bimmers usually have better brakes than most. Florida is dead flat. 6000 lbs seems to be the rating.

If it was a few miles, I'd do it. If it was 60, I'd get a pickup. Either way, the trailer will need brakes. I have electric brakes and they are amazing towing 8000 lb. Surge brakes towing 4000 is not nearly so impressive.

I tow 60 miles, so I got a cheap 2wd pickup. Not that I have an X5. I thought the 300 ft-lb 135i M package convertible would look good with a hitch, but it got vetoed.
