The high rear stance made a lot more sense to me when I saw that it's used for towing. I'm guessing this touring doesn't have the self-leveling rear suspension?

Yes, no self-leveling rear....
Plattus1000....Erdinger, right, second choice for me also Whatīs first? Thx jpstouring.
Winter drama....but this month it will end.
Wow! Trailer hitch. Was that a stock option for the wagon? I've got one on my 530 that I use for pulling the JY 15 to VT but it was a custom install.

Itīs made for towing (Yes stock option, but not for minde. It was installed later by me)
Some older pics
Awesome! This is my inspiration for putting a tow hitch on my 540it. It's funny because in the US everybody freaks out when an E39 touring is used for towing.

For my baby it is almost a daily situation . It runs like dozer.
Btw, I like your red Touring!

For the towing fans
Awesome! Every time somebody says that E39's can't tow, I just show them your pictures.

Just saw this thread for the first time and I don't understand the hate, it's your car, you are clearly an enthusiast and you can do whatever you want to it. My first E39 touring actually came with a hitch on it, although I never used it. But I've also had an and E3 and an E12 with hitches I did do towing with. The E12 as recently as last year. I got a lot of looks, but no criticism.
But cool, a working E39 touring!
