Anyone towed a car with...

Alex used too now Vlad owns it after ColdAccord had it for awhile.

edit: Yes, stopping in an E30 with that much weight is genuinely frightening. I've had to had my foot all the way to the floor sometimes.

Purchase a trailer with Brakes! With proper hitch it's possible, Rather not tow a car trailer, a tire trailer or my kart trailer sure.

i've towed an e30 touring with my e30 touring m50 swapped :D

other than it being illegal, effing scary over 65mph it went well.. only used about 2 packs of smokes iirc.

Is this in Europe? Nice tourings.

I would think suspension would be an issue as well, depending on how large the trailer was.

this looks very very scary, (god I really hope this was staged just for the pic) even with trailer brakes, and a weight distributing hitch, the wagon would be shoving that touring all over the fucking place especially in a cross wind. I would never even think about anything like that. Fuck I would not even put that trailer behind a 1/2 ton pick up loaded, 3/4 ton an up territory there. Cars are not for towing anything other than a lawn mower or row boat.

It was staged and moved in parking lot

I have towed a swapped e30. :P We managed to get it up to 100mph uphill. ;)

I've used my '89 caprice wagon to tow e30s but I've not towed with the e30. For only 140 horsepower, it tows 4000 lbs remarkably well haha.

I haven't been on the forum long, but I remember pictures of the silver touring towing a simple single car trailer with a 4 door auto-x car on board. Pretty neat picture.

Great feedback guys, and love the pics! Still tossing around some ingredients for cooking up something!

Even if you have enough power, the diffs and transmissions were never built for that kind of stress and can go after a while. I wouldn't recommend it.

Well, keeping those factors in mind of course, there are options one can explore to pair the "most suitable" setup.

....you guys are nuts.... Iv been looking at upgrading my 1/2 ton truck to a 3/4 or 1 ton for towing..... but looks like the 1/2 ton is more then enough...lol
