The m20 instantly felt like an m42 but beyond some steep slopes, in 2nd gear, the 325i made it cross country without a hitch and on average probably -5-8 in mpg.
    Are you...me?
    I've made that migration.

Even with all of your clothing (10 days worth), several pairs of shoes and rain gear. Even with a TON of stuff you really don't need, but brought anyways.

      Everything can fit. I've carried 10 passengers worth of luggage in my trunk plus a 3 pillows, a tent and an inflatable mattress. The van didn't have space to necessitate any luggage, so I was the mule

            Same thing here. Went for a week in November. Removed front seat. Firewood went in its place. All my food and gear was on the back seat. Don't even think I used the trunk

                          As you can see I did this With a hitch.

                          The black and red cable is to charge the campers battery from the E30 while driving.

                              Pretty much. Its a beefed up copy of a curt hitch that my dad made for me.
