[V8] 91 20v towing? And qs

[Bastian Homburg]

Mine  had the factory towing package (complete with reinforcement beams 
in the trunk) and was allowed to tow up to 1900 kgs, that's 4200 lbs.
 From experience, I can tell you that more than three tons are 
absolutely no problem :) Even at < 100 mph. :) :)
And these motors routinely go a quarter of a million and more miles 
without any need for opening them up. Mine had trouble-free 330.000 kms 
(210k miles) on it when we parted ways and the engine was as good as new 
with nothing ever done to it except scheduled maintenance. No oil 
consumption at all, too. And all that with mostly autobahn driving.
Improper chip tuning can kill them, though.
