After unsuccessful attempts, I grabbed the tow strap out of my car to hook on my friend’s X5 diesel. [emoji23]

All was right after. LOL

Have most of the weight towards the tongue, that will help keep things stable. Give yourself plenty of braking room. When I would tow, I would engine brake when/where I can, only used brakes when it was needed. Definitely give us SoCal guys a heads up, would love to buy you a beer and hang out!Quote:

Thanks for the tips! I think I'm most worried about visibility, it's going to be weird to look in the rearview and see nothing. I'll probably post in the other thread closer to the date, but I'm pretty set on what I mentioned there! Too bad I'm not swinging by San Diego though.Quote:

The viscous LSD didn’t help any as it requires both rear tires to have traction to lock up so it became an open diff once airborne. LOLQuote:

He would have preferred using his E90d but it’s waiting on a crank position sensor.
