Still being new to the BMW world, I would like to know if the E39 can tow and what the safe limit is.

I need to go get the last of my belongings from my ex wife in 2-3 months. I was planning on bringing my race car down and racing while I was there, but the price of diesel has put the ka-bosh on that.

Basically I have a king size bed, 5-6 boxes, pullout couch, corner of a sectional, some engine parts and car parts. All told it might be 800lbs of stuff at the very most. So a 5x10 ish u-haul is needed.

Can this be done safely and where the heck can I get a hitch and get it installed.

You guys are my BMW info source so any help would be AWESOME!!
