Just to be clear, when you say Tow Bar, are you referring to a Trailer/Caravan Hitch or a tow bar for towing the M3 behind another vehicle, like a motorhome or truck? In the US, a tow bar is on the front used to pull the vehicle and a trailer hitch is on the rear used for pulling a trailer.

Interesting this info and potentially adds some weight that there are hardware differences between LR AWD and base performance otherwise why differentiate a weight limit between the two when it would probably been so easy to just de-rate the performance when in tow mode. The only thing that I can come up with is regulatory restriction or Tesla decision based on some other unrelated to capabilities of the car factor. That said, it talks about two versions - hardware or regulatory?

Today I picked up my M3P with tow hitch. It was an inventory car, M3P / Black / 19" / tow option.
The tow option is indeed registered as 500kg instead of the 910kg of the AWD. The weight of the car is exactly the same as an AWD. So I think its complete bogus that the M3P can only do 500kg. I'm sure it can tow just as much as the AWD.
The M3P with tow also has trackmode, just misses the 20", red caliper brakes and spoiler.
