Had this BMW M2 with a dirt bike haulin ass with me around town. The exhaust sounded amazing and he was driving spiritedly, much more so than I would dare to with a trailer.

Love seeing hitches on sports cars. Dude is even carrying spares for the trailer!
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

Dude is living the dream. Why daily drive a stupid truck just to haul your dirt bike on the weekend?

That doesn't seem wise at all. I would have steered very clear of them.

So long as the trailer is following the tow vehicle nicely, without swaying or anything, have at it. Reducing speeds for trailers just creates obstructions.

Meh. I know a handful of BMWs that haul their slicks to the track for tracks days. I added a hitch to my Cobalt for the same reason and it was rated for 0. If you aren’t silly with it, it’s fine.

Looks like the official towing capacity of the M2 is 0 lbs
That only means the manufacturer didn’t do the testing to determine the towing capacity. It does not mean they did the testing and determined the maximum limit was 0.
Testing takes time and costs money. As a manufacturer it is only worth while to do tow rating analysis if the model in question is likely to get used for towing by a significant fraction of the buyers. Lots of cars doesn’t get tested because their market doesn’t justify the work. But it doesn’t mean towing an appropriate load can’t be done safely.
