I was parked in the motorway services the other day and my car and caravan was as long as the artic next to it.
I think our van is about as big as they get on a single axle but I dont get any stability problems unlike when I was towing with my 330i
I cant have anything bigger as it wont fit in my front garden.

1. That's coz the 'X's' are such good 'tugs' - when we looked recently and the man asked what I would be towing with and I told him, he said you can tow anything we have - and they do everything (except traveller wagons). No idea how the X6 would do as a tractor (no advice pvr!!), but it's only an E70 with a tarty top and has all the same electronics with just a more clever back axle/slipping diff thingy. :driving:
2. Piccie upload is perfect. :thumbsup:
3. My front garden isn't that big!! :(
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

The nice thing about the X is that it is still a capable road car when not towing ( unlike disco's and rovers!)
The only plus point the Land Rover sales man could find was that their vehicle was better off road. Sorry but 99.999% of my driving is road based apart from siting the caravan in someone's field. What badge would I rather have on th bonnet, BMW or Land rover hmmm let me think!

Exactly, couldn't have put it better myself.
Welcome along. That sure is a good size wheely box you have on the back. I love the colour of the X and those wheels really look good.

Just need a few more numbers to come up (6 would be good) then I can get me one of them E70's too.

Good luck spending that, no (or little) fuel around here.
