Yes, not something I intend to do often. Never hopefully. Just want to know I can do it in an emergency.

Towing is very variable. I have towed a 928 on trailer by my X5 and no problem at any speed. But with the X5 on a trailer towed by a Toyota Landcruiser 50 was the maximum before it got a bit 'out of sorts'.

I used to tow a ski boat of about the same weight as a 928, behind a Peugeot 205 GTi (very small sporty hatchback for those too young to remember 😀) and that was surprisingly ok. The biggest problem was front wheelspin when trying to pull it up the ramp out of the water. Stability at speed was not a problem however.

So it's hard to predict, but I'm sure the 928 will suffice for my needs.
