    1600kg towing capacity according to tinternet.

    I reckon you'd be ok on weight.

    Is there some crap about needing a 4 x 4?

    I think your ok without 4x4 once under 3500kg regardless of axles. You’ll be getting close to that with car and trailer and any passengers, tools , jacks etc.

    If it were me I'd be looking at a genuine retrofit kit. It'll be pricey but it'll be done right.

    If the towing limit is 1600kg for the car then your overweight with your trailer and track car

    correct me if im wrong but if the loaded car is 1000kg and the unladen weight of the trailer is 495kg ( for example an ifor williams one i seen online) that means load and trailer is approx 1495 kg correct? so would it not be under the 1600 limit of the 320d ?
