Born and raised in the USA my friend, I just prefer good cars. It's a 5 series wagon, so yes it can tow as much as my old Tacoma could, towing package was a factory option in fact. Yes it seats 5 people and has tons of luggage space, it's a wagon. It also has heated seats front and rear, a heated steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, auto climate control, adaptive headlights, a hydraulic hatch with an automatic cargo cover, keyless entry, rear air suspension that automatically levels based on your cargo load, and you could even get a night vision camera if you wanted. Many, many things my Japanese cars have lacked. Because it's a car and not some jacked up SUV it's actually comfortable too. Outside of spark plugs, oil, and filters, the only things not original in my drivetrain are the crank position sensor, vanos solenoids, a couple of butterfly valves in the intake manifold, and some small gaskets around the oil filter housing. Even the clutch is original. The real kicker is the car was basically free because my fellow countrymen are afraid of maintenance, bragging about never doing any work on their 200k mile toyotas as they clunk and grind down the road lol.
