Mobile home towing...M5

I stand corrected. It is a motor home, Winnebagoo type of deal.

I know there's a lot of holiday travellers on the road. This morning I saw a 24 foot Class A motor home towing a La Mans blue M5. :eek: :eek: Not on a flat bed trailer, but 4 wheels rolling, on the ground. hmmm hmmm

I know we have a manual transmission and we can put the gear in neutral, but I heard that even then, this kind of towing can damage the transmission.

I know this couple is travelling in style, but it pains me to see ANY m5 going 55 mph, stuck behind a motor home. grrrrrrr grrrrrrr

Just a minor point of clarification, I think you mean motorhome rather than mobile home. Mobile homes are the trailers that we all hope the economy never forces us to have to live in.

I agree with your sentiments! Seeing that going down the road would be like fingernails to the chalkboard! Buy a real trailer!

Heh heh....

Perhaps the M5 is like the booster rocket on a space shuttle. It is bolted on to give it a little extra juice on those mountain roads. Once you use up the fuel, it all gets jettisoned. If that is the case, I am right behind to pick up the salvage.

Isn't by attaching itself to this hitch the only way a current gen E55 AMG can keep up w/ the M5? :D :D

BMW makes a hitch for the M5.

If they made it... someone will use it.

...and I do.

Let me get this straight, you have the trailers on your M5 because you need the extra space for flat tires?:eek:
