it should be plated somewhere.. i think near the LHM tank theres a plate with the towing weights on it.. i think... it will be in Kg

Classic Fiat Panda 4x4 Sisley named Talon (long term storage)
always buy base spec. that way you have the fun of putting all the cool bit on your vehicle

Unbraked: 750kg. Braked: maximum matched kerb weight (around 1100kg).
I have zero patience for your tedium.

Re: Diesel Bx estate non turbo * towing capability*
Tho some have towed a lot more, a very lot more....(huh hum)
General rule of thumb is trailer weight (braked) should be approx 85% of the kerb weight of the towing vehicle, so your max on a BX is only 850/900kg, unfortunately with the BX being quite light in itself @ 1000kg ish towing capacity is fairly limited.
