      Can you not tow 5th wheel trailers with a short bed?

        Its not as stable as the long wheel base, and you have less turn radius because you'll likely hit the back if the cab with the trailer.

        With that said, im sure this thing would be super stable towing anything I can dream up!

          Exactly, my grandpa put the corner of his 5th wheel travel trailer through his rear window because it was a short bed. However, with a regular below the bumper style hitch it is fine, super stable and all.

                don't know off the top of my head, Roland probably does.

                I'd call up SCR, Autosport Werks, and Bimmerhaus and see what they'd recommend.

                Scour the used ads here tho.

                      I drove my M3 today for the first time in 3+ weeks.

                      So much fun. I love that I don't have to DD that car anymore, but I do miss driving it all the time.

                          ^ I was wondering this too? It's got to be something cool!

                          I ask this every year. I'm going to change my oil today. For the full winter oil cycle coming up do you switch to 10W-40 or stick with 20W-50? I want to stick with the heavier oil, because it doesn't seep as bad as 10W-40 out of the side of my head, but it might be a cold winter too. Opinions...

                            10W-40. Look at the owners manual for oil weight, it's what you want.
