i don't think it would. what does the bmw weigh? is it a full length trailer (something over 15' that a car gets driven onto) or is it a dolly style (front wheels only)?
i'm gonna guess that as long as the car/trailer combo doesn't go over 5000lbs, you should be good. just keep an eye on the temps.

watch the hills towing on a dolly. Theres no breaks and theres too little weight on the rear of the truck. The pulled vehicle will jack knife you if your not straight and trying to stop. Or coming out of a service station down hill. If you stop, the towed vehicle will keep going the way its pointing. I wont use a dolly again because of it reguardless of the towing vehicle.

IIRC, there is no hitch above class IV offered for the ranger, just something to be aware of.

i had the same truck, except with 4.10s... towed a car from Brookyln to Philadelphia no problem... besides the fact that the streets are 9 feet wide and have people parked on both sides of them in new york, and again in philadelphia, lol.
like the others said... watch your brakes... don't forget there's a car behind you, lol.
