Infrequent use of engine. Rust? Iron in oil?

Does the BMW diesel have a HPFP? If so, would a HPFP fixing to launch make that Fe high like that?

I think a HPFP is in gas engines.

Relax guys, the car is rated to tow 7,700 lbs. Thank you for the suggestion to use a truck. I am not a truck guy.

In the US?

What exactly in the US? BMW X5 35d is rated to tow up to 7,700 lbs. There were versions with a hitch which supported 6,000 lbs, however, the drivetrain (engine, transmission) was the same.

Still near the maximum but okay.

Pull the 7000 trailer with a 3/4 ton pickup and you will never go back to pulling it with a car rated for 7700 lbs.

Nope. Diesel.

Not being a truck guy is one thing but “needing” a truck is another
