I think you will find that many States have a rule that states the left lane is a "passing" lane, and to move right if you are not passing. On 3-lane roads you can stay in the center lane, but only...

Crash - you will find that those "bumper carriers" can only be installed on a very limited number of vehicles, especially if you want to carry a 600+lb motorcycle. The rear of a 5er is simply not...

I keep it to a max of 65 - that way the speed differential with trucks in a 70 limit is not too big.

That's good! I don't know if I bought a different model, or just that it was a couple of years ago, but my Maxxairs had self-tapping screws and galvanised nuts/bolts!
You shouldn't have any...

Two 6v batteries should be wired in series to give 12v. As noted, if one goes bad you will not have 12v available. If you go for two 12v batteries, they are wired in parallel and if one goes bad...

Video is fine, but I would strongly advise replacing the self-tapping (sheet metal) screws provided to fasten the brackets to the vent flange with small bolts and nuts - I have had the screws work...

Before I bought the 5er, we had a Class C and towed the motorcycle on a "Porta-Chopper" trailer - with 8" wheels! Did thousands of miles at 65+ mph and never had a wheel bearing get more than warm!
