X3MC + Stealth Hitch = "The Ultimate Towing Machine"

Finally got to try out my stealth hitch with the trailer I used to tow behind my M40i. What an improvement with their direct connect tow balls that forgo the standard 2 inch receiver. Much more solid than my old factory solution, didn't have to give up kick under motion to open trunk, and zero play while hauling firewood for a friend. Not to mention, this engine and brake combo makes hauling anything easy. Who'd have thought.... X3MC... The ultimate towing machine!

Patently ridiculous. Towing fire wood with a 500hp rocket.

Now, me adding the hitch to my X3MC to haul my skis around, that is totally acceptable.



Seriously, really smooth setup there. I need this.

Thanks, I really needed a vehicle that covered all the bases. With the hitch now, this one definitely fits the bill. I couldn't be happier with it. I've also got a slick Thule 3 bike rack that locks on the trailer ball.

(Factory European hitches are rated a bit higher I believe)
