I have no idea how much that weighs, but if its less than 3000lbs
(1500kg) and has trailer brakes (750kg without) you can tow it.
Although a lot of people will give you knee-jerk reactions that you are
a bumbling idiot. I asked a similar question on mercedesshop and got
blasted by everyone except 3 or so people.

On the mbz list there was a guy over in Norway (I think) who increased
the towing rating on his W124 300D and towed quite a large camper
trailer all over the area for 6 weeks. He even got Mercedes to legally
increase the towing limit on his car.
So it is possible. You just have to make sure you pay attention to
whats going on. If I remember correctly you're doing an intercooler
project, which would mean you know exactly what you can and can not do
with the car ;)
Best of luck with it!
