BMW 1er-Reihe F40 116i M Sport Steptronic (DKG) - Towing vehicle

Can the BMW 1er-Reihe also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this question the car must be considered from all points of view, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

The maximum towing capacity of this Automobiles is given as 1100 kg and is thus quite sufficient for the "normal consumer". You can pull a small caravan with it, and also sometimes the moving trailer.
For the BMW 1er-Reihe gthe torque indicates how well it can handle heavy loads - the rule here is: a lot helps a lot.. With 190 Nm, it does not have much torque. If you charge a lot, you have to be patient during acceleration.

However, this advertisement does not yet include trailer hitch and must be separately ordered.

Evaluation - is the BMW 1er-Reihe suitable as a towing vehicle?: The automobile can tow a maximum of 1100 kg and has a maximum torque of 190 Nm. You can manage quite well in everyday life, but you should only pull heavy equipment over short distances because the torque alone is a bit tight and you run the risk of slowing down traffic considerably.
